Workplace Discrimination Exists
A female security guard refuses to wear certain uniform while on duty whereas the regulations specifically state she must present herself a certain way. She is fired on account of not following regulations. Should she have been fired? Yes or no and explain.

This seems eerily similar to a debate i posted a couple days ago:

There's probably insufficient details in your scenario. The way it is written now it reads simply that she was fired for not complying with an expressed requirement of her job and in that sense it is not discrimination.

Firing someone for an inability to fulfill job requirements is not discrimination it is simple practicality. Do you hire a paraplegic as a gymnast? Do you hire a pacifist as a bodyguard? Visibility and being recognizable are an intrinsic part of a security guards function. Unwillingness to wear the uniform would seriously compromise that function.

 If the woman will not wear her uniform for her job?
definitely fire her. It is not personal, it's business.

Certain requirements for every occupation. I do not see your correlation to "religious discrimination" in the debate description, your point was not well-made. You might try re-phrasing the question ??
