Barb Goldstein: Do, or find another job
Regarding the May 29 news article “McCrory: Magistrates can’t opt out”: Normally, any employee who does not perform the specified duties of his or her position will be dismissed or asked to resign. So I’m confused: Why do Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore state that our magistrates are forced to “make an impossible choice” between their religious beliefs (performing same-sex marriage ceremonies) and giving up their jobs?
The choice may be difficult, but not impossible. It’s actually quite simple: Do their job or find a different one.
