Much of that kind of events have really derailed,
 
and it has nothing to do with the viewer's eyes,more to it according to some is "controversial"

I hope she wins. It is stupid to forbid someone from wearing a scarf.

It is not like she wanted to wear a burka, in which I would not want her to win.

What exactly is the Disney Look?

This was a poor decision on the part of the Disney person and will probably end up costing Disney a lot, not only money but in image.

Disney probably has no problems taking money from Muslim customers I bet.

Maybe it will hurt their image with Muslims but somehow I don't see that as something that will affect Disney's bottom line very much.

On the one hand, workers in a position to greet customers usually have to adhere to some kind of dress code, but on the other she did ask and recieved no reply. And one has to ask whether Disney actually has a 'No Scarves' clause in their dress code.

Personally I would think they'd welcome a multinational look to their workers.

Ive never been to disney world, but couldnt they just put her in a place for... I dont know, the mummy, or that other middle eastern show.

She was out of compliance with the dress code. I see no reason for a lawsuit, but it is her choice to file one.

Platapus 08-19-10 09:39 AM

Do we know what the dress code is?

Weiss Pinguin 08-19-10 09:58 AM

I dunno. I don't think 'did not go with the Disney look' will hold up very well. :hmmm: If there was a real issue here say health-related or some such) then I could understand.

Maybe hire her to wear the mascot suit? ;)

Its simple, Disney world is a private enterprise. They can dictate what their employees can and cannot wear. Dont agree with the 'dress code' well there are plenty of other jobs out there right?

What is so freakin hard to understand about that?

Besides you would think the woman would be greatfull to have a job these days.

We still haven't found out whether scarves are mentioned in the dress code.

Businesses have to by law make a "reasonable accommodation" for their employee's religious beliefs so long as doing so doesn't present a safety hazard, the exemptions are equally applied and so long as the exemption doesn't go against a "business necessity".

The article says the woman asked Disney if it would be ok to wear a scarf, from that it's quite safe to assume that not in dress code nor in the contract it is stated that scarf cannot be worn.
