Refusing to work Sundays...

A woman who worked at a public library refused to work on Sunday because of her religious beliefs. Because of her stand, she was fired. Recently, she won the religious discrimination case against them and got her job back. The jury awarded her $53,712 in damages, representing her lost library wages minus what she earned at other jobs after being fired. "What price is my religious freedom? What is it worth?" Rehm said. "It's not a matter of displaying the Ten Commandments. It's being able to live the Ten Commandments, and that's what my employer was asking me not to do."
