Christian nurse removed from frontline duty for wearing cross necklace Read more: ht

We like to see discrimination where there is none sometimes.

here in the US, I'm extremely tired of (some) Christians carrying on all the time about "persecution" and "discrimination" whenever they're not getting special treatment. If she really feels that strongly about it, she can embroider the dang cross on the front of her uniforms and still be able to advertise her religion that way -- doesn't sound like there's anything in the policy that would prohibit that. But, hey, then she wouldn't be getting a special exception to the policy everyone is supposed to follow ...

Mrs Chaplin was the first member of staff who had refused a request to comply with the policy, it added.
She was not threatened with the sack or disciplinary action, contrary to reports.
But she was 'redeployed' to a job where her own and patients' safety was not put at risk.
The spokesman said Mrs Chaplin herself had also admitted wearing a cross was not a requirement of her faith.

The hospital trust said today that necklaces were banned as there was a small risk that confused patients could grab them and cause injury.

The policy was nothing to do with the cross itself which could be worn inside (not outside) her lapel - an option Mrs Chaplin was free to take up.
