Support Discrimination Against the Foolish
Listening to the radio today, I heard about a hairdresser in Britain who was denied a job because when she interviewed she refused to remove her head covering. The claim is that the request and not hiring her because of it is an attack against Islam. Actually is the discrimination against foolishness. Who wants to have their hair done by someone who will not let their own hair be seen. It is sort of like having a morbidly obese fitness trainer. I just want to see if what you will do to me is consistently and well lived out in your life. The result of the lawsuit was an award of $4,000 pounds in part for "injury to her feelings." Really in Britain I can sue you if you hurt my feelings. Wow! Thus I support discrimination. Specifically against the foolish.

The comparison is not apt; fitness trainers can easily apply what they teach to their own life. Hairdressers usually get their hair done by other people. Try cutting the hair on the back of your own head and you'll see why!
Also fitness trainers deal with the knowledge of proper lifting technique. They don't deal with dietary considerations, which are almost 100% responsible for whether an exercising person remains fat or slims down.
Still, I wouldn't trust an obese personal trainer.
The comparison is intended to demonstrate like concern. One interested in helping others with their fitness would generally be concerned with their own. One interested in helping others with their hair would generally have hair worth seeing not covering.
