the feminist librarian reads

For me, this issue is personal. That VA doctor is my father. If not for the professors who rescheduled my Saturday exams and the university administrators who ensured the presence of kosher food on campus, I could never have graduated college. I will always be grateful to these men and women, but I do not feel that they were doing me a favor. I was morally entitled to the accommodations they provided, and much of the reason I feel so grateful is that these officials believed in that entitlement just as much as I did. They were part of that old RFRA consensus; they viewed religious accommodations not as a privilege, but as a responsibility.
