It strikes me that even if Disney had responded to the letter the law suit was coming. Imane Boudal was not acting on her own initiative here. The Council On American-Islamic Relations, was certainly there from the beginning.
The other point which makes me wonder is this....
When offered another position, she refused and cried discrimination.
"Their offer to put me in the back is humiliating," she said in a statement. "They're saying because I'm Arab, because I'm Moroccan, because I'm Muslim, they don't want to see me in the front."
So is she Arab or Moroccan? Can she be both?
I would say that Disney acted in good faith by offering the compromise. She gets to wear her scarf and Disney maintains its dress code.
When the EEOC sees that they will back away from enforcement which is why they are going to court.
