Christian fired because she shared her faith with co-workers during off-hours

A Christian woman is battling a California university and state social agency for terminating her internship because she shared her faith with co-workers during off-hours. Jacqueline Escobar was completing a master's degree in social work at California State University Long Beach when she interned with the Department of Children and Family Services, or DCFS. A straight-A student, Escobar was complimented regularly by the DCFS for her work. But she came under scrutiny for sharing her faith with co-workers during lunch breaks and after-hours, and for changing into a shirt with a religious message – "Found" – after signing out for the day, according to the Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing her. A trial is scheduled to begin April 3.
