On air: Can discrimination be justified?

This was a conversation that started on here on the WHYS blog. This was the post from Bob in Queensland….

“On a theatre technicians forum I moderate, somebody has posted a job ad looking the crew to do lighting, sound, wardrobe etc. on a British tour of a musical. The production in question is based on a bible story and the ad specifies that the whole crew must be Christian.”

Do women need positive discrimination?

Yes, says the Norwegian government which has a law insisting that 40 per cent of company directors must be female. And this is isn’t just about equality – it argues that the economy will benefit as well.
