OPINION: The department uniform policy is the department uniform policy.


SNIPPET from post no. 1:

"According to the complaint, the Essex County Department of Corrections (DOC), first suspended Beshier and then terminated her on the ground that her wearing of a khimar (a head scarf) violated its uniform policy for corrections officers."

When and where does this stop? I understood the head scarf was not a requirement of Islam, just certain sects and cultures under its massive umbrella? I wouldn’t be srprised to learn that Ms. Beshier was not a BORN Muslim, but an inner-city convert.

Ms. Beshier didn’t know about the uniform when she applied for the job? Will there come a time when people just have to accommodate the regulations that were in effect at the place where they applied to work? Or is that asking too much?

So will the DOJ protect you and I if we were to wear a cross?

However, Christian teachers employed by the state will continue to be forbidden to wear even a tiny silver cross noting their faith, and certainly prevented from actually speaking the name of their God or admitting to being one of His followers.

“Separation of Church and state”... they apply that one to Catholics, why not muslims? She is a state employed corrections officer. If she is near the general prison population, for her own safety, the headscarf is not appropriate. What if a prisoner grabs her by that headscarf and injures her? Will she then sue us for not protecting her?
