Title VII does not demand mere neutrality with regard to religious practices—that they be treated no worse than other practices. Rather, it gives them favored treatment. . . Title VII requires otherwise-neutral policies to give way to the need for an accommodation.
这几乎就是直接推翻了Hardison案里面的那些推论，正式认定宗教信仰在Title VII下可以得到优待。Scalia大法官在种族和性别歧视方面一向的立场是法律不应该优待任何一方的，可是这次他不仅写下了上面这段文字，还轻描淡写地说：“[The] argument that a neutral policy cannot constitute ‘intentional discrimination’ may make sense in other contexts.” ——只是“may”而已。
