Muslim Disney Worker Sues The Mouse Over Headwear

From Breitbart: A Muslim woman is suing Disneyland, accusing the company's California theme park of discrimination for telling her she could not serve customers if she chose to wear a headscarf.
Imane Boudal, 26, asked her employers at Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel several months ago whether they would permit her to wear a headcovering while working as a hostess, a spokeswoman for a worker's union said.
But when no reply was forthcoming, she decided to don the headscarf anyway, timing her decision with the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Leigh Shelton, a spokesman for the UNITE HERE Local 11 union said.
"Disney told Boudlal that if she wanted to work as a hostess she had to remove her hijab because it did not comply with the 'Disney Look,'" Shelton said in a statement

Disney is a private company and they have a dress code. This woman, when she was hired knew about the dress code or should have known about it.
Further, she waited to put on the scarf, so it was not that important to her. If it was so important to her, she should have worn it to her interview and first day of work, now when she felt like it.
What a moron.
