Blocks the adrule id: religion-nationality

Religion and national origin in job ads

"Native English speakers only" and "American-born" are national-origin preferences.

Where the rule comes from

Title VII prohibits discrimination on religion and national origin. The EEOC treats "native speaker" requirements as national-origin discrimination; a language skill may be required only when the job actually needs it.

What the check flags

Religious preferences and origin-based wording: Christian, Muslim, native speakers only, American-born.
