The undiscussed question
A Muslim speech therapist was fired for refusing to sign a loyalty oath to Israel. Caught my attention for vocational reasons, but on looking more closely there's a big question missing in all the discussions.

Ideally all "discrimination" laws should be abolished. The original obsolete constitution was PERFECTLY CLEAR on this point. The government should provide services without unnecessary discrimination, but the government should also MIND ITS OWN FUCKING BUSINESS and let companies and individuals choose their friends and churches and customers. A business that decides to lose half of its customers will fail. Capitalism works.

In the original paradigm this firing is discrimination by government, and would be prohibited. The school district forcibly collects taxes from everyone, so it should serve everyone without unnecessary restrictions. (Obviously you can penalize people for not paying taxes, or fire employees for not doing their jobs.)

Unfortunately the constitution died in 1803, so there's no point in bringing it up. In practice we operate under "laws" derived from the psychotic skrawkings of alien demonic entities wearing black robes.

Aside from all that, here's the undiscussed question about the employer's MOTIVES AND PURPOSES:

The speech path was hired by the school district specifically to serve their Arabic-speaking students. Not surprising. Texas has lots of Arabs because of the oil industry.

Now the school district is firing her for being Arab.

They hired her because of her ethnic background. Now they're firing her because of her ethnic background. If they expect to find another speech therapist with similar qualifications but opposite attitudes, they're going to be disappointed.... Especially now that the case has become famous.

In other words, the only law that counts is Sheldon Adelson. All other considerations disappear and evaporate in the face of Sheldon Adelson's imperial command.
