Fired Employee, Believer In Theosophy, Sues Over Retaliation, Complaints About Yarmulke

Yesterday's New York Post reports on a religious discrimination lawsuit filed in New York federal district court against the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. by a former employee who says he was fired after going to the police to complain about threats he received for going to the company's Human Resources department. In the lawsuit, Ciro Rosselli alleges that problems began when he wore a yarmulke to work as an expression of his practice of "theosophy", a movement that finds truth in all religions.  He was subjected to a stream of taunts by fellow-employees and his supervisors. For example, his boss sent him an e-mail comparing him to Kabbala admirer Madonna.
