Re: religious harrassment at work or nothing?

Dear Rachel,

I suggest you discuss this matter with him in a Christian
way. If he is a true Christian, he will surely consider your
feelings and act accordingly. I once knew a guy who worked
out on the boulevards of Lake Charles for the City of Lake
Charles, and his fellow workers would always tell dirty
jokes and curse very much. So this fellow decided that he'd
start signing hymns as they worked. Well, they fired him for
doing it. He took his case to the E.E.O.C. and won it; and
after several years without work, I think I remember
correctly, the City had to give him his job back with all
lost back pay. If after you have talked to this fellow as
one Christian to another Christian, and prayed about it, as
any Christian should, then you might consider filing a
complaint with the E.E.O.C. Best of luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
Lake Charles, LA
