1Opinion of the Court
LOWENSTEIN, Chief Judge.
This case presents a straightforward issue as to how far and to what extent an employer must go to accommodate the religious beliefs of an employee, under § 213.-055.1(l)(a), RSMo 1986. As pertinent here, § 213.055.1(l)(a) makes it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to discharge or discriminate against an employee due to an individual employee’s religion or religious beliefs. At issue is an employee’s request to not be required to translate or sign to deaf students “cursing or bad language,” due to the employee’s religious beliefs.
