Today, First Liberty Institute filed a religious discrimination
lawsuit in federal court against Alaska Airlines on behalf of two
flight attendants: [link removed]
In a direct violation of federal civil rights law prohibiting
workplace religious discrimination, Alaska Airlines fired Lacey Smith
and Marli Brown for expressing their religious beliefs.
Alaska Airlines declared on its company's internal message board
that as a corporation it was supporting the passage of the so-called
Equality Act and invited employees to comment.
Acting on her sincerely held religious beliefs, Lacey Smith responded
to the posting on the messaging board by asking, "As a company,
do you think it's possible to regulate morality?"
Marli Brown also posted a response asking, "Does Alaska support:
endangering the Church, encouraging suppression of religious freedom,
obliterating women rights and parental rights?"
Despite asking for feedback, Alaska Airlines fired both Lacey and
Marli for providing feedback from their Christian perspective.
Alaska Airlines certainly has the right to support the proposed
"Equality" Act. But the Airline cannot wield its social
advocacy as a sword to unlawfully discriminate against religious
employees.
Censoring only religious perspectives is blatant
discrimination-and it's illegal. Woke corporations cannot
treat religious employees as second-class citizens. That violates
federal law.
Together, we can stand up for religious freedom in the workplace and
defend the rights of Lacey Smith and Marli Brown. Give now and join
First Liberty in this fight: [link removed]
Your support can help deliver legal victory for Lacey and
Marli-and all Americans who are singled out for their beliefs in
the workplace.
