Someone is going to be paying through the ass.. (Disney lol)

The original settles to America where fleeing religious persecution, now the table have turned and narrow mindedness and intolerance have gripped the USA.

I like this one from the comments.

$1:

She he suing because she can not wear a symbol of female oppression. Wearing it to intimidate all the women she comes in contact with.

I guess Hindus should be able to wear swastikas, a religous symbol, even the the nazis corrupted it.

Sad but true.

She also knew about the dress code when she signed on.

just being a PIA cause she is now so 'special'

[tritium]

The Burka is a symbol of female oppression..

A head dress or small (“scarf”) is a religious symbol..

[martin14]

Since you posted that pic, I imagine you approve of it.. I don't.

Religion has no place in public services.. period.


I believe private companies also have the right to determine a dress code
for their employees.


The company was trying to accomodate her, SHE was the one who suddenly lawyered up
and takes it public.


I smell another Muslim ' you have to accomodate us while we do shit for you agenda '.


Our destruction happily continues.

I see your analogy, if they can have a Miss Black America Pageant, why can't we have a Miss White America Pageant??

You offer up a Muslim with a head dress, I counter with an illegal Mexican who is a devote Catholic and probably wears a chain with a cross.

I don't have an issue with a head scarf, I do have an issue with a burka.

I don't have an issue with illegals either, most are Catholic, good work ethics and know how to party on the weekends.. Cancun!!!

That why Canada and the USA are such special countries.. the freedom too... (speech, religion.. etc)

Actually the reason why they are allowed to wear the head dress is because when the Brits where in India they wanted to make their Indian soldiers stand out from the British ones. So they made them wear the turban, the Indians didnt complain mind you, but it was to clearly identify the class of soldier. The Indian was NEVER allowed to wear a purely British uniform. So when I see a turban on a Canadian in a government uniform I see it as a reminder of British colonial imperialism and oppression.

I know some places have strict dress codes. But this is hijab not a burka. I don't have a problem with the hijab.

I thought the turban on sikhs was to help cover their hair, as many don't cut it.

In India, turbans are referred to as a Pagri. There are several styles which are specific to regions, religion, etc. A Pagri is a symbol of honour and respect across all regions where it is a practice to wear one.

During the British period, The Muslim elites of South Asia especially of western Punjab used to wear long pagri which was also a symbol of nobility, honour and respect. In Punjab and Sindh members of the landed aristrocray always wore this pagri. This pagri was a part of full formal dress and was used to wear with Sherwani.

The Sikh turban, known as the Dastar, is mandatory for all Amritdhari (baptized) Sikhs to wear. The Pheta is worn in Maharashtra and also has regional variants like Puneri and Kolhapuri pheta. In Mysore and Kodagu the turban is known as the Mysore Peta. The Rajastani turban is commonly called the Pagari. It will vary by caste, class, religion and region. It also serves practical functions like protecting from the elements, used as a pillow, blanket or towel. When unravelled, as a rope tied to a bucket to draw water from the well.

The Pagri will also vary in shape, size and colour. The colour will vary related to occasion it will be worn. For example, Saffron (associated with Valour) is worn during rallies, White (associated with peace) is worn by elders, Pink (associated with spring) is worn during the spring season or marriage ceremonies, etc

“The Constitution tells me I can be Muslim, and I can wear the head scarf,” Boudlal said in a prepared statement before the press conference. “Who is Disney to tell me I cannot?”

The Constitution also tells me I can wear ripped jeans, VERY short shorts, or just a bra (or more, just the clothing that I want), but my boss won't have it. And HE is the one making the dress codes and paying my bills. Sorry!
You can dress every way you like in your spare time. Just not at work.

$1:

“Ms. Boudlal has worked for the company for more than two years and recently made the request to wear a hijab, and we have been working directly with her on accommodations. In the interim, we offered reasonable accommodations to allow her to work during her scheduled shifts, which she declined.”

$1:

Boudlal decided to try wearing the head scarf to work after becoming a U.S. citizen and learning about her rights of freedom of religion. Some Muslim women wear a hijab, which covers the hair and neck, as a form of modesty that is part of the religion.

Ahhhhhhhh... I see.

It is! I think Guy needs to provide a reference to that claim since the Sikh I once worked with claims what I always understood, it is religious and been around before the Brits got to India.

I checked just in case and every Google top 10 hit also says otherwise, for example,

$1:

The turban has been an integral part of the Sikh Tradition since the time of Guru Nanak Dev. Historical accounts relay to us that all Sikh Gurus wore turbans and their followers --Sikhs-- have been wearing them since the formation of the faith.

And there ya have it Brenda. She was fine with not wearing her hajib until AFTER "learning her rights". Unfortunately, she still don't understand that employers have the right to enforce dress codes. Especially dress codes she fucking agreed with when she took the damn job. Disney should just fire her sorry ass for breach of agreement/contract and be done with it.

Well honey, when Disney builds their "Suicide Bomber" attraction in Iraqiland, you can wear your head scarf to work.

Until then, you wear the same as every other Disney employee, or find a new job.
