Religious Goons cannot be Firemen.

Jpost- Washington DC Fire Department regulations dictate that you are not allowed to have a beard while on the force.
Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike are banding together to fight this standard.
The DCFD sites saftey reasons as a reason to continue the ban, but god-wingers are arguing that their freedoms are being infringed upon.
And by arguing, I mean six of them are bringing the city to court.
This is hte second time the case will come to court, on an appeal. DC has previously sided with the holy men.

Fire dept. argument is not "let their faces burn," but actually that the beards interfere with airtight oxygen masks.
I say hell, let their faces burn, if thats what they want.
