Yeah, it made sense 40 years ago before we had civil rights, laws protecting the handicapped etc. Blacks couldn't even play for SEC universities until 1972. Yeah, we are such an advanced society then.
"I love the good ole days when we could bus dem dared coloreds to the other skewl and let them drink from a diffurn fownten. Whooowee, we sure were advanced back then! Can you believe these people now wanna vote and be treated like equals. What the heyll are they thinkin! Boay, that Strom Thurmond, he sure knew the truth"
A TV report stated she was allowed to wear the covering but would have to work in the back but she refused saying it is illegal for Disney to ask her to remove the head cover. Sounds like Disney has done their best to accommodate her under the EEOC. She became a citizen just two years ago, maybe she should review the laws.
It is a buisness and the notion of Islam does not really project the happy, fun loving imaging of Disney. When one sees a head cover, one thinks of car bombings, terrorism, and oppression- not necessarily the image Disney wants to project.

I guess they should not hire anymore Muslims.
They DO? ROFL. There's a Muslim woman in my office who wears a head scarf. When I see her, I think "uh-oh, Auditor."
I suggest some people review the history of this employee and Disney. When she was hired she was not practicing her religion openly and did not wear a head covering. Since deciding to wear one she has been offered positions that would allow her to follow her religious beliefs which do not violate cast member dress codes.
Evidently the young woman is more interested in gaining control of the Disney experience as opposed to being given equal employment opportunities.
Of all the would-be immigrants, throughout the world you can find people who want to come to the USA, why on earth are we bringing in so many who despise us and our culture?

What's going to be funny is when the Muslims decide they're entitled to every job, including the local strip clubs and nudie bars and believe they must be allowed to wear their burkas.
Well - at least the Miss Muslim USA doesn't wear a burka.
You know what..promote her to be Mickey Mouse or some other character. Let her wear her burka under that costume. No one will care.
There are dress codes and if she can't abide by them, even after Disney went out of their way to accomodate, then she should quit.
Same thing happened at one of those mall stores I believe for the teens. They put her working in the back because she didn't want to dress the "image" in the front. She sued for discrimination as well.
Why do these places hire them to begin with if they insist on wearing the burkas ?
Do they go on the interview without them and then show up on the first day with them ?
If they let the Muslims get by with everything, then what happens when some Nazi wants to wear a swastica or some KKK insists on wearing hoods and white sheets to work? Or someone comes from a culture where they just wear loin cloths and doesn't want to adapt to our cultural ways? They'll have to let them.
