Being too good looking can get you fired, really?

Being too good looking can get you fired, really?

 
I read an article someplace were a lady in Utah got fired because she was too good looking. Her boss’s wife felt she was too good looking and was worried about her husband who worked there. Now mind you there had been no inappropriate contact or interaction at all. The wife just was worried and did not trust her husband.  This ended up in court, of course one would think it was open and shut and this firing would be deemed illegal. However not only was it upheld but a law was passed stating you can fire someone for being too good looking. Now I realize if it goes to the supreme court it will be over turned, but the fact that it even got this far is ridiculous and just plain wrong. I mean what’s next, your too short, to tall, to fat, to skinny, your hair is to short, it’s too long, to dark, to light, see were this can lead? I am not saying that these things do not come into play, I am not that naive, but to actually pass a law allowing such bias is wrong. Something to think about especially if it stands up in the supreme court, what will it say about our society and our supposed equality.
