Scouts get burned by knotted training program

Description

Abstract: The danger of treating employees inconsistently is a recurring theme throughout employment law. This article discusses one case in which a Muslim executive in a local council of the Boy Scouts of America was recommended to participate in a professional development training program. But he wasn’t sent, while a Christian with similar qualifications was. In the lawsuit that followed, the appeals court found the council’s arguments unpersuasive. Aly v. Mohegan Council, Boy Scouts of America, No. 12-1292, March 22, 2013 (1st Cir.)
