7/14/23: "Christian preschool sues state, wants to require employees hold specific religious beliefs while still enrolling in Colorado universal pre-k program"- This is wrong in so many ways. This is a group wanting to use discrimination in their hiring practices. Yes, this is discrimination because it targets those that are not the same religion as they are. It is still a form of religious discrimination. If the school really wants to discriminate then it should be cut off of all government funds and must be 100% privately funded. We are allow people to discriminate against people who are not of their religion and this is not right in any way, shape or form. Christians have been discriminating against people for hundreds if not thousands of years and this court even hearing this suit allows them to continue their attacks on other faiths or people that do not follow any religion. It's time for this form of discrimination to be stopped. https://www.cpr.org/2023/07/14/christian-pre-school-sues-colorado-hiring-practices-lgbtq-rights-religious-freedom/

It's like saying that doctors shouldn't have to go through as much school as they do so more people can be doctors. I'm sorry but a CPA is basically a financial doctor and people do put their lives in their hands. These credits are needed for the most complete understanding of finance and people just wanting to cut things to make it easy is a disservice to all those that will be impacted by people that then get into jobs they can not handle. https://fortune.com/2023/07/14/why-cpa-exams-150-hour-college-credit-rule-outdatedand-inequitable-guylaine-saint-juste/amp/
