We respect businesses that care about making products that are genuinely useful, instead of caring only about the bottom line. If this is what we mean by a Christian influence in business, then most Americans would dearly love to see more of it. The EEOC says its only concern is to protect people from harassment because of their religious beliefs. But our laws already give employees ample protection against religious coercion. The real mischief in the EEOC guidelines is that they provide no objective standards.
Harassment is defined in purely subjective terms.
In essence the guidelines require employers to read the minds of their employees and anticipate anything that might possibly offend them. Like the public schools, the workplace will become a religion-free zone. And that would be a tragic violation of the First Amendment rights of Christian employers like Ken Wessner - who merely want to express the biblical inspiration for his company's high business ethics. EEOC officials are still taking comments from the public before putting the guidelines into effect. Christian businessmen do a great service in showing us how to apply Christian faith to all of life - including the workplace.
