I review medical claims everyday for our members. And I was just told by our UR dept that one member who is a foreigner only in this country a short while was admitted to the hosp in Quarantine becuase he has something that was picked up in his country.
We see several of these cases a month
Its not fair. Call it inhumane call it what you want but laws need to be tightened and people need to be screened more. Immigrants should be tested for tb, baterical disease before they leave the airport. They need to be monitored
Im so freaking skeeved out because I serviced that shop only a month ago and came into contact with this man.
Im not paranoid but many of these diseases are airborne

I think that would be carrying 'freedom of religion' a little far.
Honestly...how can this woman actually expect the DMV to issue her a licence with a picture that you cant see her face, hair color or eye color. For all they would know it could be a man underneath it!!

That was the basis of her argument. I don't remember the outcome though.

I believe she was denied the right to wear it and now she's suing, so there may not be an outcome for some time.

Is this covered under the 'freedom of religion'?
My guess is that they are going to say that driving isn't a privledge...so they can deny someone from a license for whatever reasons...
but who knows what will happen with the right lawyers...

there should be prerequisites for suing. too many pointless cases taking too much time...

She's suing?
I am sorry but I do not agree with that

Wal-Mart is a whole other topic, IMO. I absolutely DETEST that store and their monopolizing practices.

Alina, a license is a form of ID. Her face must show. Same as for a passport

If Im not mistaken I think she won. Thats ok, Im sorry but there is going to come a time where some things will bite people in the ass.
I believe in religion, but sometimes you just have to give.
You know when I worked in the 5 towns which is a predominantly Jewish area, an very religious orthodox jewish man came in and refused to let me touch him.. So I left the room, he said it was against his religion to come in contact with a 'gentile woman'
My boss also Jewish but reformed, told him to leave. The man said no, it was his right. My boss said not in this office. He told him to call local offices annd check to see if they had an all orhtodox jewish staff.
I always thought that was little weird..

But doesn't the veil thing impair the physical ability to see well. Particularly on the sides of the eyes?

I understand, but I wonder if there is an exception for this? I don't know, just asking.

Wacky, why did you have to touch him?
I had the same encounter with my job, a male borrower wouldn't shake my hand, b/c I am a woman and its against the orthodox branch of judaism.

Their are 24 apartments in my building. Of the 24 apartments we have hispanic, Polish, and many from Gyana and India. Their are only 3 apartments that are not of that ethnic background.
NONE of them speak english.
just wanted to comment...Dh's family came from Spain...they ALL speak very good English with accents (albeit), but they often go into Spanish...they are all US citizens as well and do not collect welfare or other services...
on another note when my dad started dating my mom...my moms whole family spoke German (yet they all became US citizens and spoke very good English)
my grandfather would have to yell at all the old ladies to speak English so my father could understand...its just that they were comfortable with German...
so just b/c someone doesn't speak English in their home, doesn't mean that they 1) aren't citizens 2)do not know English 3) are collecting welfare or 4) have contagious diseases...

Exception for what. Im sorry Alina, there is always an exception, bu thats ridiculous. How is anyone to really know who she is. What if she a murderer, or is the victim of a crime, or anything. If I have then you have to.
You know, personally I think that its coming to a point that one can kill and get away with it because of religion and that scares me.
