‘It appears as though Kay Jewelers is anti-Christian.’
A lawsuit has been filed against Kay Jewelers after a Christian employee was fired for talking about her faith with a co-worker.
Commentator Todd Starnes explained the situation had the markings of a “setup.”
“The conversation happened in a back work area at a Kay Jewelers in Fairlawn, Ohio. The coworker continuously pressed (Mika) Cohen for her personal opinions about Pride Month. Finally, she explained that she is a Christian and shared her sincerely held beliefs on God’s definition of marriage and sexuality,” he explained. “A few weeks later Kay Jewelers launched a HR investigation into the conversation alleging her remarks were inappropriate.”
Shortly later, she was fired.
“It certainly appears as though Cohen is the victim of a setup by a pro-LGBT staffer. To make matters even worse, it appears as though Kay Jewelers is anti-Christian. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but Kay Jewelers is certainly no friend to Christians,” he said.
It is the American Center for Law and Justice that took on the case.
It said it is defending “an employee’s right to express her religious beliefs,” this time in Ohio.
Cohen was dismissed by Kay from her position as assistant manager in Fairlawn, Ohio, for sharing her Christian beliefs with a co-worker after repeatedly being asked to do so, the legal team said.
