Putting aside the troll question (and the pronouns and the "you must out yourself at work or you're a magat" discussion): is Alison's legal advice correct here?
No, you can't refuse to hire Mormon men because they're Mormon men. But I feel like saying "graduates of this university don't share our culture so we won't hire them" is, like, the foundation of American capitalism.
(And LW doesn't even mention their religion - there's plenty of asshole BYU grads who aren't Mormon, and if they're in Colorado they're probably seeing plenty of Mormon applicants who didn't go to BYU. Even if it's not a troll it's possible they're deliberately dogwhistling for religion but if someone says they don't hire male Darthmouth grads or female Radcliffe grads because of a bad culture fit it wouldn't be.)
