239. The equal employment laws do not cover hypocrisy.
Edited on Thu Sep-02-10 10:41 PM by Hassin Bin Sober
How she balances a Hijab versus contoured clothing in her own mind is, unfortunately, not our business. As long as her restrictions don't push the required accommodation past the "reasonable" limit she can insist on the Hijab and run around in a bikini. In other words, the court isn't going to discern how "good" of a Muslim she actually is. That's not to say pictures of her pole dancing on the weekends couldn't influence a jury. The law is pretty clear on "reasonable accommodation" - especially with something as mundane as a scarf.

She wouldn't be the first religious hypocrite. See: shellfish versus homosexuality.
