[Foundation-l] WMF, and implications of non-discrimination on local projects?

[Joe Szilagyi]

This is probably a tempest in a teapot, but it seemed like an interesting
question. On a local "request for adminship" on English Wikipedia, an editor
has stated he will not support anyone who is not Christian for Adminship,
and the RFA in question is getting very intense. Would people opposing
actions or volunteer positions based on religion, creed, race, or sexuality
of a user run afoul of any local United States discrimination laws, or local
San Francisco, California ones, where the WMF is housed?

And the section immediately above it.
