Should this girl have been fired?

Bad mistake on the part of management. They changed the reason for the termination after realizing they made a mistake in saying it was about her conversations with other employees. They put it in text messages for all to see.
It will be settled out of court in a year or so, imo.
No she shouldn’t have been fired
Peace to you

It is tricky to discuss sexuality in a workplace, especially these days. It’s a trap.
She should have changed the subject or said she did not feel comfortable discussing sins and homosexuality.
If the inquiring person really wanted answers, a discussion in a place outside of work might have been appropriate.

They don’t fire anyone for talking about the weather. Unless you are prepared to defend a “heads down, no smiling” sweatshop policy, you can’t expect to fire someone for talking about religion/faith. I have found that it is okay to talk about any “religion” except Jesus. If you’re not a conspiracy theorist on any other subject, you should be here. But it isn’t really theoretical.

I think the main thing that got her in trouble was not talking about the Christian college she attended, but her saying homosexuality is sinful. The workplace is not a good venue for discussing any kind of sexual topic, especially in our woke culture. She fell into a trap.
I also personally do not think the workplace is appropriate for discussing religion, politics, family, or any topic that is very personal. Talk about work related issues, the weather, favorite restaurants, hobbies maybe. Self disclosures are often snares and ripe for malicious gossip.

She told them she was a sophomore at Boyce College, a Christian college in Louisville, which led to conversations about her beliefs.
“I respectfully shared about God’s design for marriage and sex,” Rogers said.
The complaint said Rogers and one of the co-workers talked about reading the Bible and Rogers shared her own testimony, during which the other worker asked if they would have to stop being in a relationship with two partners to become a Christian.
“I respectfully shared my belief that homosexuality is a sin, but we are all sinners, and it is never our place to judge someone,” Rogers added.

If the only time you see them is at work, that is the only time you can talk to them. And I wouldn’t want to be around their Mormon practices to spend time with them. I’ll wait for them to be in public.
If you can talk about anything else you should be able to talk about anything else. Did the person in the multi-partner relationship get fired for talking about their own beliefs and practices? Personally I find the alternate viewpoint offensive.
Let’s be fair. They both talked. They can both be fired or both deal with knowing something about each other.
Besides that, I’m not thrilled about having someone who is more likely to have STDs making my food. That seems like a more reasonable reason to fire someone. This is why you ask the Lord to bless your food, don’t ask questions for conscience sake, and eat at home whenever possible.
No, she shouldn’t have been fired. If she was a liberal Christian who condoned the LGBTQ+ agenda, she wouldn’t have been fired.

She should not have been fired. But hopefully, she’s smarter now, and will avoid conversational traps. Like talking about anything related to sexuality. There is never any need to discuss such topics at work. Sharing all your opinions about everything accomplishes nothing, but fueling the gossip fires.
They saw an opening and did this to get her fired, imo.
No.
I had NO IDEA people used the dark ages term, M.R.S. degree anymore. I thought that jab at women went out with June and Ward Cleaver. LOL
lol, yeah, pretty archaic term
almost sure she was set up, could have been by the co-workers, the management, or even a customer that was a friend of theirs that was eavesdropping. They didn't even ask her for her side of the story and then just texted it to her and changed their "reasons". My point was, she's better off without them and they shouldn't have hired in the first place, woke means intolerant.

An "MRS degree" (pronounced M-R-S) is a slang term for a woman attending college primarily to find a husband, rather than to pursue a career. Popularized in the 1950s, it implies that getting married (becoming a "Mrs.") is the true goal of her education. It is generally considered a derogatory, outdated, or satirical stereotype.
Sidenote: I'm not going to be at Worthy forums anymore because there just isn't any room there for civil discussion between people who disagree. I've seen people accused of having TDS when they obviously do not. But most of all, I was called a liar today. That was the last straw. Besides, it's cliquish there and I'm not in the clique.
