According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, all people have the right to be employed without discrimination based on religious standing. If someone is not hired because they have a different religion, although they were qualified for the position, then they would be considered to have been discriminated basing on religious grounds. There is an exception to this law. The exception is that under Title VII, organizations are allowed to give employment preference to members who subscribe to their religion. Christian Science Monitor is a religious organization in that it engages in Christian research (Brooke 85). The policy requiring that only members of the Christian faith be employed is legal. Christian Research Monitor, therefore, is legally justified on the policy.

Question 2: Betty and public school

All public primary schools, secondary schools, public colleges and universities should be made accessible to all members of the public without regard to their religion. The Civil Rights Division on the Educational Opportunities Section has the Title IV of the Civil Rights Act that was put in place in 1964. This act protects students being discriminated against basing on their religion in public and primary and secondary schools, and also in public colleges and universities. In this case, the principal of the school should fire Betty because she is practicing discrimination in the school.

Question 3: Homosexual rights

Gilbert has a basis with which to argue the case. In 2010, Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964 integrated discrimination that is practiced through gender identity-based acts. This was taken to be a form of sex discrimination. Gilbert could have argued against this case and have the culprits answerable to the law. This law has been accepted and amended in nearly all states. Since it is a federal law, it will apply in all states.

Question 4: Lesbian

In the case, Connie Bowen does not have a cause of action against affinity orientation discrimination in that she has no right to question the students in high school because they are in an institution which has its own policies. In the exceptions to the Title VII on Sex Identity Discrimination Act, the student is supposed to be protected by the school policies regarding their sex identity. In refusing to play, she has the right because she feared she might be exposed to an environment that is not fair. Connie does not have the cause against the affinity orientation.

Question 5: Religious claims

In the case that has been stated, Mary Jo does not have a valid claim. Mary Jo has no religious claims because the employer has a cause in the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 where proselytizing is not allowed in the workplace. What Mary Jo is doing is religious harassment because it affects the work performance of employees. She has affected the way employees are working, something that does not work out well with her. She is violating the act where there is a need to have religious freedom in the workplace.

Question 6: Disabilities

Epilepsy, where the refusal to hire is based on the possibility of future injury

Cross-eyes, for the position of a postal worker who operates a scoring machine requiring detailed visual work

Question 7: People with Disabilities Act

In the case, the employer is required to provide comfortable working conditions for people with disabilities. This is stated in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. One exception is that in case the employer will face undue hardship, then they will not be obliged to provide these conditions. Reasonable accommodation is providing a heater near Louses workstation.
