Profile Assignment – Woman asked to move seats on flight

An 81-year-old woman, Renee Rabinowitz, was asked to switch seats on a flight, because an orthodox Jewish man said it was against his beliefs to sit next to a woman. When she was young, she and her family fled Europe during the Nazi occupation.

The angle: Passengers shouldn’t be able to decide who can sit next to them or not based on their own ideologies.
