Today we’re asking if you agree or disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision about a lawsuit filed against Abercrombie & Fitch.
Let me preface all this with a definitive statement that I do NOT approve of their ads or the majority of their clothing line. Because of that, I don’t shop there, nor would I apply for a job there. However, we have to wonder…should my choice of clothing be imposed upon others? Must everyone be forced to accept the choice I’ve made to wear a certain article of clothing?
Today the Supreme Court voted in favor of a woman who sued the company for discrimination because she couldn’t wear her hajib (head scarf) while she worked. I have a few questions about this whole thing –
1.Why did she apply for employment at a store that defies everything she supposedly believes in?
2.After finding out she couldn’t wear her head scarf, why not just move on (i.e., grow up)?
3.Does this mean a practicing Muslim, Mormon, Atheist, or whatever, can apply for a job at my church, or even this ministry, and if they’re not hired, sue us?
4.Is this case a form of discrimination against Abercrombie & Fitch?
Another interesting piece of news – ISIS announced you’re breaking the law if you shave, and women aren’t allowed to leave their homes during Ramadan… Could this be a sign of what’s to come if others are forced to hire you in spite of your product line?
With all my blathering over with – we want to know what you think!
