Federal Jury Rejects Religious Discrimination Claim By Indiana City Employee

Friday's Chicago Tribune reports that a federal court jury sided with the Kendallville, Indiana water department in a religious discrimination lawsuit brought against it by former employee Greg Rice. Rice claimed that his supervisor, Scott Mosley, posted religious slogans in the office and repeatedly lectured him about the state of his soul. Mosley is also the pastor of a local church. However apparently the jury believed Mosley's testimony that he fired Rice for insubordination after Rice argued and hung up on a staff member of the city clerk's office.
