Employees of a state correctional facility were required to attend a seventy-five minute training program entitled Gays
Question:
Employees of a state correctional facility were required to attend a seventy-five minute training program entitled “Gays and Lesbians in the Workplace.” The program was designed to show “the facility’s strong commitment to create a work environment where people are treated respectfully, regardless of their differences.” Several employees objected to the program after it was announced, believing that it was “indoctrination” designed to promote a lifestyle they regarded as being contrary to the Bible’s teachings. These employees attended the mandatory training, but silently read their Bibles or copied scripture during the presentation. The employees did not disrupt the meeting or prompt complaints from other employees. The employees who protested the training in this manner were given written reprimands that precluded their being promoted for two years. Other employees had been inattentive during other training meetings and were not disciplined. These employees sued. What should the court decide? Why?
