This new department head who began his appointment on Jan 1st has just announced that his office will no longer do restaurant inspections as he believes his religion forbids him from handling pork and other non-halal foods. He says the public will not be inconvenienced because the state is still going to be doing inspections. Do you think he should quit his job or at least put aside his religion when he is there to provide services to the public in a manner which every previous person did who held that position? It is also going to cost his community money as there was a charge collected for each inspection which the government will no longer be collecting as it is not doing the inspection.
I think he should quit his job or move out from U.S.A
