Whitney Houston's funeral service really took the world to church. Love Pastor Winans' honesty, very moving.

Religious and ethnic jokes are now on par with sexual and racial harassment in the workplace, according to a recent decision by the Supreme Court.
The decision was made after a case involving a 1999 lawsuit was filed by Jason Cutler, a Jewish police officer in New Jersey. According to JTA Jewish & Israeli News, Cutler claimed his former chief referred to him as “the Jew” and commented on his “big Jew nose” while other police officers pasted Israeli flags on his locker.
In 1999, his co-workers claimed they were only poking fun, and a court ruled it as teasing. Then in 2003, Camden County reversed the decision, in favor of Cutler.
Just last week on July 31, the Supreme Court upheld the county’s ruling, then equated ethnic and religious jokes to sexual and racial harassment.
What do you think? If someone makes a religious joke or “pokes fun” at someone’s ethnicity, should they be held accountable? Or is it just joking?
