If I visit a kosher restaurant and order a pork chop, am I being discriminated against when the waiter says they dont serve pork?
If an establishment requires that men wear jackets and women dress in what that establishment defines as an appropriate way, does that constitute discrimination?

LAMAR
Out here on the Eastern Plains, it's a savage country. Tornadoes, hail and blizzards can hit without warning. A prolonged drought has pummeled the economy, with dust storms so severe the schools have closed early twice so buses wouldn't be dropping off kids in blackout conditions.
And now this community 120 miles east of Pueblo finds itself in the harsh glare of the culture wars and in the sights of lawmakers who want to ban the high school's nickname.
"One, two, three, Savages!" members of the Lamar High School track team shouted inside Savage Stadium early this week.
Junior Ivan Villasenor struggled to catch his breath after doing two 200-meter sprints back to back, but he was more than willing to talk about the team's name.
"I love the word 'savages,' " he said. "It shows we're never going to give up. We're striving for a goal and that goal is greatness."
The sentiment is shared throughout this ranching town 45 miles from the Kansas state line. Faded yearbooks document a team name that has been in use for more than a century and has survived questions in recent decades about whether displaying "Savages" on school uniforms and gym floors is offensive.
The school, which does not identify with any particular tribe, uses a logo of an Indian in a headdress.
State Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, finds the name repugnant. He is co-sponsoring a bill that would require schools with American Indian names or mascots to get approval from a panel of tribal members or else face steep fines. He said the logo is respectful but the name Savages is not. He predicted it would get the boot.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Two Princeton professors with opposing views visited Grand Valley State University on Thursday to talk about finding common ground and civility in discussions.
Cornel West, an activist and public intellectual, and Robert George, a Catholic philosopher of jurisprudence and natural law, have different views on core issues surrounding race, politics and government. The friends discussed how to have productive conversations on divisive topics.
George emphasized approaching arguments with intellectual humility and viewing another person as a conversation partner rather than an adversary. Integrity and honesty are key in any discussion, West said.
Their talk -- "The Culture Wars: A Workable Armistice?" -- was the last American Conversations event of the season at the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at Grand Valley State University on Thursday, April 2.
