    Wow... I didn't realize Phoenix was Mormon territory. I thought that was Utah. But then again, what do I know :) We have a few mormons in Lancaster and I work with a few. I recently had a theological discussion with my coworker because I have to teach about Christianity in my World History course and it always gets touchy because the students don't understand I'm talking about Christianity before the Reformation.

    My favorite argument - Student: "Well I'm a Christian but I don't believe that."
    Me: "Yeah, well you weren't alive 1500 years ago, so that's probably why."

    Absolutely golden, lol.

    Back on topic: Way to go for the EEOC, I didn't realize there was a big Mormon population in Phoenix either, but discrimination anywhere in any form leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :(

    I am an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) and lived in the Phoenix area for a few years. There is a very large LDS population there.

    Religious discrimination, such as practiced by the UoP managers, is grossly unprofessional and should not be tolerated. The actions of those "Mormon" managers runs contrary to the teachings of the LDS church. As a people who have been historically singled-out and persecuted on behalf of their religious faith and beliefs, Latter-day Saints should be the last people to practice discrimination toward others.

    This infuriates me :(
