In Scotland-- Religious Discrimination Suit Against Catholic School

The Scottish press today is reporting on a discrimination case against a Catholic high school under way in an Employment Tribunal in Glasgow. Suing under a 2003 law that bans religious discrimination, a math teacher is protesting the school's refusal to consider him for a position as principal teacher of pastoral care because he is an atheist. Apparently Catholics who send their own children to non-religious schools and Catholics who are divorced and remarried are also denied approval for these kinds of positions in the school.
