Councilman Chip Henderson wants to remove nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policies from Chattanooga’s city handbook, Nooga.com reports. Henderson would like the handbook to include guidelines written by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which are based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and do not mention sexual orientation or gender identity. Chattanooga’s city handbook currently includes policies that list sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes.
