Religious discrimination is "un-American" | Kathy Lund Dean | TEDxGustavusAdolphusCollege

Ever been affected by religious discrimination in the work-place? This presentation described research examining how American workers have responded to religious diversity in all types of organizations. Data from U.S. religious discrimination lawsuits over 15 years tells a story of persistent and intense reactions toward those who display certain religious practices and what we, as everyday citizens, can do about it.
Kathy Lund Dean currently holds the Board of Trustees Distinguished Chair in Leadership and Ethics at Gustavus Adolphus College. She earned her Ph.D. in organizational behavior and ethics from Saint Louis University. For over fifteen years she has been active in the OBTS Teaching Society for Management Educators and the Academy of Management. Kathy serves as co-Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Management Education, the management discipline’s premier experiential learning journal. Outside of work, she is learning Spanish and serves on the board for local youth basketball programs. She also strategizes how to spend more time skiing and snowshoeing.

I think of religious discrimination as a type of dishonesty because of the word profess (like in the memorial acclamation, “We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again”).

[@afrozshabbir100]

Any form of discrimination is inhuman, absurd and irrational.

[@starbright5236]

Wow. Curious what she thinks of what's happening today in Oct 2021.

[@runfayalife]

Religious discrimination is very american just like you love your friends more than your enemies is a form of discrimination why would anyone love their enemies more than their friends also why should i love you and care about you more than loving and caring about what the Bible sais?
I do not love everyone equally i love some more than others kinda like i like language learning with spanish more than i love violent video games such as quake champions...its an inclusive ra ra slogan to say God loves everyone equally but its not true..i love the church more than i love the stripclub

how pathetic. i have my religion and u have yours. i don’t care if anyone bullies me it doesn’t matter. let people talk and say what they want wheather its for or against someone else’s religion. its freedom of speech. its impossible to be every single religion and no religion at the same time. i pick my own and i’m not gonna pretend to care about someone else’s or say they have chosen the right religion. i wont bother to talk about my religion if they don’t have the same one.

[@daxmoreno7881]
