Nashville Police Officer Claims Religious Discrimination

In Nashville, Tennessee last week, a police officer who is a Seventh Day Adventist filed suit in federal court accusing the Metro Police Department of religious discrimination. Nashville's City Paper today reports that 27-year police force veteran Diedre Renee Forte alleges that a training video shown to police falsely claimed that "Seventh Day Adventists were cults, due to their relationship with David Koresh." This, she claims, led to growing hostility toward her at work. She says she was told not to talk about God at work, while others were not similarly limited.
