Disney sued for discrimination by former employee over Muslim hijab ›

fucknodisneycorporation:

Boudlal asked her supervisors for permission to wear her hijab when she worked at the Storyteller’s Cafe. Her request was denied and she was told that wearing the hijab would “negatively affect patrons’ experiences at the Storytellers Cafe.”

The 28-year-old also claims coworkers and supervisors accosted her with anti-Muslim and anti-Arab slurs, calling her “terrorist”, “camel” and “Kunta Kinte,” in reference to the slave from Alex Haley’s famous book Roots. Boudlal said colleagues also told her Arabs are terrorists, that she spoke a terrorist language and was trained to make bombs.

    I think Boudlal should have been able to wear a hijab that matched her uniform, or one with a Disney logo on it. I liked...
