Christian nurse ordered to remove crucifix

This nurse was ordered to quit wearing her crucifix due to health and safety reasons.  However, two Muslim doctors were allowed to wear headscarves.  It seems to me that the headscarves would carry a much higher health and safety risk.  This is just another case of discrimination against Christians.

Nurse Shirley Chaplin, 54, said she had been wearing the crucifix around her neck for 31 years without any complaints before being ordered to remove it in the summer of 2009.

After refusing to comply, pointing out that two women doctors were allowed to wear headscarves, she was moved to a desk job.
