Harman pushes discrimination plan
2008-06-26 14:58:00 BBC says, "Equality minister Harriet Harman has set out plans to allow firms to discriminate in favour of female and ethnic minority job candidates. She said firms should be able to choose a woman over a man of equal ability if they wanted to - or vice versa." So it is OK to discriminate against men in general and the majority community in particular. Harman's post should be renamed as the minister for inequality and social engineering.

Is Plus Size Discrimination on the Rise?
2008-05-23 12:57:00 I came across an interesting article talking about some recent research into weight discrimination.Yale university have entered into studies that show that more and more people are facing discrimination due to their weight, a problem which is so widespread it's often more prevalent than race & gender discrimination.According to Yale there has been a 66% increase in the past decade, to include situations like healthcare and the workplace.Sandy Schaffer of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance says she experienced this first hand. 'I was told point blank, that I was qualified enough and that I was smart enough and capable of doing the job, but they wouldn't offer me the job because I was too fat,' Schaffer said.When asked if the employer was that blunt, Schaffer said, 'Point blank, those words.Schaffer is now fighting back with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. She's trying to get 'weight' and 'height' added to anti-discrimination laws.Thes...

Government May Have Massive Surveillance Program for Use in National Emerge
2008-05-21 19:39:00 AlterNet ?Main Core,? a program that authorizes ?computer searches through massive [unspecified] electronic databases? in order to discover ?potential threats? in the event of a ?national emergency?: According to a senior government official??There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ?enemies of the state? almost instantaneously.? ? One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention.

Photo: sexual discrimination rears its ugly head
2008-05-05 00:30:00 In my article Muslim Lies I laughed at the absurd statement of Amr Khaled, a Muslim televangelist in the UK, who wrote: "In Islam, women are equal to men in all senses, in front of God and the law." Of course, anyone who reads blogs other than The Daily Kos knows that women under Islamic law only have half the equality of men. A women who is raped needs 8 female witnesses to 4 male witnesses. A reader left a comment calling me "a biased fool." Perhaps he's right; perhaps I have overlooked discrimination of women in my own backyard. So I searched the Internet to see if there are public places in America, infidel places, that do indeed treat women differently than men. What is more non-Muslim than a pub, I thought to myself; what I found was quite disturbing: Sexual discrimination in America; will it never end? Related: There are a number of Bar Supply companies that sell the sign, further promoting this disgusting treatment of women. Sadly, I do not make a commissi...

Medical Marijuana discrimination?
2008-04-28 06:01:00 Here is a simple, yet, controversial question: If someone has used marijuana - even if used for medical reasons - should this prohibit him or her from being considered to be on a transplant list? Hospitals throughout this great nation struggle with this question every day. Timothy Garon (pictured above) is a patient at the University of Washington Medical Center. He has end stage Hepatitis C and, according to this Associated Press story, may be in his final days without a liver transplant.But Garon's been refused a spot on the transplant list, largely because he has used marijuana, even though it was legally approved for medical reasons. "I'm not angry, I'm not mad, I'm just confused," said Garon, lying in his hospital bed a few minutes after a doctor told him the hospital transplant committee's decision Thursday.With the scarcity of donated organs, transplant committees like the one at the University of Washington Medical Center use tough standards, including whether the candi...

Just Say No to Food Discrimination...
2008-04-25 18:22:00 Yesterday, I was killing some time with friends at World Market. We were browsing the international foods section when I felt compelled to seek out Vegemite. After a long search over countless aisles, I found Marmite, but no trace of the Aussie staple!Apparently, while a US ban on Vegemite was only rumoured years ago, no one imports it here anymore.Hello! It's made by Kraft Foods! How fair is that?Supposedly, it's because it contains folates, which the FDA only allows in breads and cereals (and, ironically, my sister was told to take by a doctor because it's good for growing babies). Not to mention the other nutritional benefits of the brown goo...I did my own digging with the FDA and found that it lacks nutritional information and "the common or usual name of each ingredient"... but US customs makes no mention of a ban on their site.Not fair! I've wanted to try Vegemite for years! Perhaps someone in Oz will take pity on me and discreetly send a small jar. If it really is banned...

Discrimination and Harassment Claims
2008-04-21 21:13:00 Not all employment discrimination or harassment claims have their merits. These cases must be well supported by sufficient and credible evidences to flourish and subsequently succeed in court. The plaintiffs must see to it that their allegations are valid and that they were able to document the violations of their employers to have better chances of winning their lawsuits. It will also be helpful if they managed to find some witnesses to testify on their behalf. Otherwise, their cases may just put them in a much problematic situation.
Protect Breast Cancer Survivors From Discrimination
2008-04-21 00:33:00 Did you know that there is a genetic test that can help people find out if their family history of breast cancer may be due to a genetic mutation?Unfortunately, if you are tested - and your results are positive - there are very few federal protections preventing insurance companies from denying you coverage due to your genetic condition. This has led many to forgo testing, denying them important information that could help them manage their health and the health of their families. But there is something we can do to change this! The Senate is debating a bill called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which would make it illegal to discriminate based on genetic information.Click here to urge your Senator to support fair access to preventative treatments!Preventing these protections could cost lives - lives of real people like Bridget Mooney.Bridget Mooney graduated in 2005 with a degree in International Relations from Boston University.
