A California childcare teacher sued her former employer last week after she was allegedly terminated and mistreated because of her religious objection to reading books to children featuring same-sex couples. Nelli Parisenkova, who is being represented by lawyers with the Thomas More Law Society, worked four years at Bright Horizons Children's Center in Studio City and cared for children aged five and younger, according to the complaint she filed Thursday in the Superior Court of California.
The lawsuit claims Parisenkova was aware of such LGBT-themed material at the Studio City location of the largest childcare company in the U.S., but at first had not been required to read them. Founded in 1986, Bright Horizons has hundreds of locations worldwide and employs more than 26,000 people.
Parisenkova's situation changed in April when Katy Callas, who serves as director of the location, learned of Parisenkova’s religious objections to the material, refused her request for a religious accommodation and ultimately created a hostile work environment that led to her termination, according to the complaint. The complaint explained how for Parisenkova, who is "a devout Christian," reading such books to children "would violate her religious beliefs and constitute promotion of intimate relationships and choices that are contrary to the teachings of her faith." "Parisenkova formally requested a religious accommodation from Bright Horizons that aligned with her prior informally granted request.

“Avatar” during its new theatrical engagement (or maybe are watching it for the first time), you are no doubt blown away by its presentation.“Avatar” looks noticeably better than it did when it debuted in theaters back in 2009 – it boasts improved picture quality thanks to a new 4K remaster and is now presented in high frame rate (or HFR), which creates a more fluid image. As eye-popping as the original presentation of “Avatar” was, this new version is even more visually stunning.But this new presentation did leave me with a question: How did the movie go from being a standard, 24-frames-per-second movie (as it was when released in 2009) to an updated, 48-frames-per-second marvel? Like Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), the crippled marine who takes a mystical voyage to the alien moon of Pandora, I embarked on an equally exotic quest … to Burbank, California.
