The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of an Indiana law officer who claimed religious discrimination when he was fired for refusing to work at a casino. The officer said that the gambling enforcement assignment would force him to violate his religious beliefs and argued that law enforcement agencies are required to accommodate the religious views of employees. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago limited the application of this law to public servants when it said that police and fire departments are not required to assign workers to duties compatible with their principles.
