NY Finds That Restaurant Discriminated Against Falun Gong Patrons

Epoch Times reports on an Oct. 2 ruling by the New York State Division on Human Rights finding that the Lucky Joy restaurant in Flushing violated anti-discrimination laws when it refused service to two women and a young girl because one of them was wearing a Falun Gong T-shirt. (See prior posting.) Each of the three was awarded $7000 in damages. In addition the restaurant must display an anti-discrimination poster and create anti-discrimination training and procedures.
