Kim Davis went to jail because a judge would not allow her a religious accommodation on her job.

Ms. Davis would not sign her name to so-called same-sex wedding licenses, since it violated her Christian beliefs. The judge wouldn’t allow a simple accommodation that would still issue licenses, but without her signature.

Writing in the Washington Post, Eugene Volokh identified many instances of employees receiving accommodations based on their religious beliefs. Here are a few:

In today’s anti-Christian climate, there is little interest in accommodating sincere Christians who ask for flexibility in the way they perform their job. Kim Davis joins a growing list of modern American Christian martyrs.

    So true. Reminds me of the government mentality. In the Army, there were many cooks, who were assigned to the motor pool, and mechanics, assigned to the mess hall. Where is the logic!!!

    I’ll be looking for you to be there, too, Tom.
