Did someone snitch on you or were you very open to any/everyone about it? I'm a teacher, and probably the only humanist in the building. Also the only vegan there. I take some flak about my animal-freeness, but it's ok. I don't advertise my humanism though.

Technically it's "illegal" in the United States, but there are so many ways around it that it's almost impossible to prove that you've been discriminated against. Being a journalist in today's world is getting harder and harder. They're beholden to corporate supporters, the whim of lazy readers, and the constant barrage of comments from angry people because they didn't like what they read. It's a little disconcerting to watch.

I'd say that is a risk you take working in a society that is not free although it seems that those in the free society that supposedly exists in the US seem to be taking a beating they don't deserve.

We said the Pledge of allegiance every day. Said a prayer on monday for the week. I just went along with it. It was bad enough for me that i thought Trump was a bad choice. I think you have a discrimination going on.

I take it that this occurred in Turkey? No, I haven't been so unfortunate, but others on this site have.

How is that even legal?

Sorry that happened to you, EhabJohn. It's a sad commentary on the agenda-driven news media that a person gets fired based on their political or religious beliefs. News media should not have any political, ideological, or religious affiliation- they should just report FACTS.
