Nazi Family Discriminated!

Now there’s a perfectly ordinary english sentence that you don’t quite hear every day but, appearantly is quite true!

The Campbells family named their son after Adolf Hitler (yeah, that Hitler) and complained when their request for a birthday cake was denied by the grocer. It seems that he or she wasn’t too comfortable about giving Hitler a birthday wish…

The grocer offered to make a cake with enough room for the Campbells to write their own inscription. But the Campbells refused, saying they would have a cake made at the Wal-Mart in Lower Nazareth Township. The Campbells say Wal-Mart made cakes for Adolf’s first two birthdays.

Wal-Mart said they have to respect their customers’ views as long as it isn’t illegal of profane…

If the Campbells have a legal case over the refusal, it would be that the family was denied service because of race, ethnicity or religion, said Shannon Powers, of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, a state agency that enforces anti-discrimination laws.

The Campbells, she said, would have to prove ShopRite didn’t make a reasonable attempt to provide service it provides others. She said the offer to make a cake with room for an inscription would probably count as a reasonable attempt.

This was definitly the best thing I read today… there’s more here.
