  I tend to agree, but the place to start isn’t by targeting minority religions.

    But that minority religion is the only one presenting the problem...

      TIL that adhering to the court’s own policy is “causing a problem.” Sure, let’s just let officials make up rules on the fly instead of applying their own policies fairly. Surely that won’t cause any further problems.

        First, I said "presenting the problem", not "causing a problem".

        Second, I didn't say that rules should be made up on the spot. But it should have been dealt with originally instead of letting it get to this point. Rolling over for a single religion is the antithesis of the separation of church and state, regardless of how much of a minority it is.
