Subject: RE: BS: Religious Discrimination in Suffern, NY
Laws do not have to discriminate intentionally to discriminate, and folks involved in the legal process likely don't have visceral reactions to the word. If there are facilities for Christians and none for Jews, and building a facility for Orthodox Jewish people has been made illegal, then it IS discrimination. Whether or not there's a legal responsibility to change zoning ordinances to eliminate accidental descrimination is a matter for those who know the law.
