On Monday, a federal judge ordered three Southwest Airlines attorneys to attend “religious liberty training” after not following an earlier court-made mandate. Earlier this year, the Dallas-based airline fired Charlene Carter — a Southwest flight attendant of more than 20 years — for political and religious opinions expressed on social media, reported the Texan.
