Diskeeper Suit on Slashdot

Slashdot picked up on Touretzky's article about two ex-employees suing Diskeeper (a company run by Scientologists) after being fired, alleging that the company makes Scientology training a mandatory condition of employment.

Diskeeper's surprising response to the lawsuit appears to be that religious instruction in a place of employment is protected by the First Amendment. The blogger at RealityBasedCommunity.net believes that the legal mechanism that Diskeeper is using to advance this argument is inappropriate and will be disallowed, but that the company will eventually be permitted to present its novel legal theory.
