Oh, c'mon, Bill, surely you're not that dense.
You can only discriminate on criteria that are relevant to the job.
If the job is a women's locker room attendant, you can most certainly
discriminate based on the sex of the applicant. If it is for an
accounting position, you can't.
We're talking about a software testing position. If you discriminate
because they don't have the technical abilities, fine. But to base
your decision on their feelings about the Iraq war and occupation is
not OK.
