I totally agree, but I think that anti discrimination acts in housing, employment set the tone for the rest of society. If a gay wheelie can't be hired by a Fortune 500 company, what message does that send to everyone/the rest of the world?
What's a gay wheelie ?

Damn straight on the employment thing. Suspension is reasonable in certain cases (say you work in a bank and are suspected of fraud) But sacking? Hell no.
You should be able to fire someone for any reason. It's immoral to fire people accused of crime, you should treat your employees with respect, but there should be no law involved.
- Did you do it?
- Do you have any evidence that you are innocent?
- What is the evidence against you?
In this case, if they just talked to him for a bit and gave him a few days to investigate and gather evidence, they could have avoided firing him.

I disagree. You shouldn't be able to fire someone for being Jewish. You shouldn't be able to fire someone for not voting how you want them to. You shouldn't be able to fire someone for not having sex with you. There are a lot of things that you shouldn't be able to fire someone for.

The only place that should not be allowed to discriminate is the government since they represent all people.
Freedom of association is the key hear, you should be able t o associate with anyone you'd like to and vice-versa. Now I'm of course not advocating any sort of discrimination, but I do think it should be allowed. Just as I don't advocate hate speech, but I think it should be allowed.

If you don't like Jewish people and it's your company you shouldn't have to work with them. It will only hurt you as you are limiting your labor pool to non-Jewish people, and this is the same for any other form of discrimination.

Thanks!
