childcare for all pre-K children in the city. Is this program an example of how secular
states (perhaps inadvertently) enact policies that privilege certain religions over others?
What does this say about secular laws in New York City? Discuss
your views and explain the positions that you have taken. Also, engage with the views of
those who might disagree with you.2) The second media article discusses the case of a family of Christian bakers who refused
to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Are they discriminating against LGBTQ couples
or are they exercising their religious freedom to practice Christianity? Wouldnt baking a
cake for a gay couple forcibly demonstrate their support for the institution of gay
marriage against their will and thereby contradict their right to practice their religion? On
the other hand, if a bakery refused to bake cakes for African Americans (or Hispanics, or
Jews, or Muslims, or Irish, or Asians etc.) or any other religious/ethnic minority, would it
not be discriminatory? Can a business simply refuse service to those whom it disagrees
with in a secular society? If so, what does this say about secularism? Discuss your views
and explain the positions that you have taken. Also, engage with the views of those who
might disagree with you.3) The third media article discusses the burkini ban, which began in France but soon spread
to other European countries. This ban prevents (ostensibly Muslim) women from
swimming in bathing suits that cover their bodies and hair by imposing a fine on those
who do not wear something more like a traditional European bathing suit, which is far
more revealing. Shouldnt a secular state allow women to wear what they want? Is this
ban discriminatory towards Muslims? If so, what does it say about secularism? Discuss
your views and explain the positions that you have taken. Also, engage with the views of
those who might disagree with you.
