Custodian fired after religious ritual with dead chicks at California college, suit says
Briefly

According to the complaint, ‘To perform this ritual, (she) was required to carry dead baby chickens, and leave them at the jobsite,’ highlighting the woman’s religious obligations.
The lawsuit argues that the university's actions, which started after complaints about the woman’s Santeria practices, reflect discriminatory behavior towards her religious beliefs.
Despite being promoted earlier in 2023, the report details how her colleagues began alleging wrongful acts, including accusations of witchcraft and theft, subsequent to her new position.
A university spokesperson stated, ‘Regardless of religion, no one is permitted to dispose of dead animals on campus property,’ indicating the administration's stance on animal disposal policies.
