209. That is where this is getting all out of kelter...
It doesn't matter what reason the owners found pork objectionable. It could have been religious, cultural, or maybe they sold pork futures short or simply didn't like the smell.

It did not violate any religious, ethnic, gender, or racial right of hers to ban it from the premises.

Someone else on this thread had a great example of someone bringing a dog meat sandwich to work, heating it in the company microwave, and eating it in a shared lunchroom. It does not violate anyone's ethnic rights to ban dog meat in the workplace, even though their ethnic background may be of a culture where eating dog meat is not considered offensive or "unclean".
