Woman can't wear hijab at Disney, sues | World | News | Toronto Sun

Muslim woman is suing the entertainment giant after she was sent home from her job at Disneyland for wearing a hijab.

Twenty-six-year-old Imane Boudlal has been working in a restaurant at the California theme park for two years but didn't wear a hijab until now. When she decided to wear the traditional head scarf, her boss told her to either take it off or work backstage where the public wouldn't see her. She went home.

Thoughts?

Disney should compensate her by providing an all expense paid vacation to EuroDisney.

The French are so much more tolerant on the draping thing...oops...nevermind.

Come on Harry. I had my tongue implanted firmly in my cheek! Don't you know if Fox sent someone home because they wore a scarf they would be racist? Disney is a leftist corporation and part of the GE conglomerate.. tongue in cheek.

This is the same as those Young Conservatives who loudly sang the National Anthem at the Lincoln Memorial.

As in, manufacturing a fake situation to get a response, so they can then sue over it (Or at least make a big deal).

I don't give a rats ass about sensibilities. If you want the job, this is the dress code take it or leave it. This is a money maker for her. Its all about a lawsuit.

If she wore a Buggs Bunny hat it would have been the same results. Now Disney just has to find someone with a religion based on Buggs.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It's Disney's rules. If she doesn't like their rules then she should go work somewhere else.

Ya think!

On the eve of Bastille Day, marking the birth of France's staunchly secular republic, the vast majority of MPs in the country's National Assembly voted in favour of outlawing the burka and the niqab from French streets, making it the second European country after Belgium to clamp down.

The new law, passed by 335 votes to one, is expected to sail through the Senate in September and be in force by early next year after a six-month explanatory period.
