This woman needs to be fired, and, actually, jailed. And stoned maybe.
You know, I get that it’s a tough economy out there. Lots of people are taking jobs that aren’t necessarily optimal, like working at a fast food joint, cooking meth, or making YouTube videos. And not everyone is able to choose a job that is 100% in line with his or her morals, like a vegetarian flipping burgers, an ex-DEA agent cooking meth, or a normal human being making YouTube videos.

Reminiscent of the Washington Sate Patrol officer, 20 years or so ago, who stopped a car for speeding. The driver, suffering from idiotic honesty, explained they were late for an appointment at the abortion clinic for his pregnant girlfriend.
The fundy trooper then ordered him to follow him to a “crisis pregnancy center”, where they were harangued for a couple of hours before being allowed to leave.
The couple complained, the trooper was disciplined. He then filed suit against the state for violating his freedom of religion. That, I’m happy to say, went exactly nowhere.
