[Vision2020] Interfaith Panel Thurs. May 15

[Donovan Arnold]

Andreas,
   
  You don't need laws to force people into a job because they are male, female, white, non-white, gay, straight, Jewish, catholics, etc. All you need to do is let people be who they are. If an individual is clearly discriminating, hold them accountable. 
   
  I don't even think you need laws. Just rate each business, like you do Consumer's Report. If a business is rated horribly in discrimination, people would stop going to the business and it would disappear. 
   
   
   
  Best Regards,
   
  Donovan

Great. Now you've identified the reason why there should be laws to ensure this.
