W​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​rite a case analysis on the below case/study. Discrimination Based on Religion? William Smith is an ordained Christian minister, who is opposed to abortion on religious grounds. He also worked for the North Central Area Rural Transportation System as a bus driver. He did not drive a fixed route; instead, Smith’s bus acted more like a taxi, picking up riders in the nonurban areas around Mesa, Arizona, at the instruction of a central dispatcher, and delivering them to specified locations. In January 2021, Smith was dispatched to pick up several women and take them to a Planned Parenthood clinic. After receiving the dispatch call, Smith called his supervisor to inform her that “in good conscience, I can not take someone to have an abortion” and that, in taking women to Planned Parenthood, he was concerned that he might be transporting a client to undergo an abortion.​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​Smith’s supervisor responded that either he could pick up the women and take them to Planned Parenthood or he could resign. Smith did not want to quit his job, but he refused to drive the women to the clinic. As a result, he was told to drive his bus back to the office. When he arrived there, he was fired. Smith subsequently filed a lawsuit against the North Central Area Rural Transportation System alleging that the North Central Area Rural Transportation System violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by failing to accommodate his religion. What must Smith prove in order to prevail in his lawsuit? Based on the facts presented above, do you believe that the North Central Area Rural Transportation System violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when they fired Smith? Why or why not? What additional facts might help you in making a more informed deter​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​mination?
