“Jesus is associated with religion and it’s offending people,” one of the guards tells the man in the video from the Jan. 7 incident. The customer wearing this shirt may have just hit the civil rights lawsuit jackpot. By admitting that he was acting on the basis of the customer’s religious beliefs, the security guard has openly violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as it is applied (wrongly, in my opinion — but that’s another matter) to “public accommodations.”
Banning a customer from a shopping mall for religious reasons is no different than banning black people from a restaurant.

They relented and let him wear the t-shirt, but he might possibly be allowed to sue for undue harassment over his first amendment rights or something?
