There are several ways to get rich in Old Joe Biden’s America. Among the most notable are winning an elected office, being the son of a major elected official, and being part of one of the left’s protected victim groups who can make a case for having been the victim of discrimination. That last one is why a woman in Tennessee, Sophia Johnston, is $100,000 richer today.
Of course, another feature of Old Joe Biden’s America is that $100,000 today amounts to only $14,474 in 1973 dollars, 1973 being the year Old Joe entered the Senate and began working for a better deal for the common man. So it cannot be said that winning her discrimination case has made Sophia Johnston rich, but still, $100,000 even in 2024 dollars is a nice chunk of change to get just for winning the victimhood jackpot.
The Nashville Tennessean reported Monday that Johnston “has reached a settlement with Rutherford County and members of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office after she was forced to remove her hijab for a booking photo at the Rutherford County Detention Center in late August.” Johnston claimed that “the forced removal of her religious covering for a minor — and since dismissed — criminal booking violated her First Amendment right to practice her religion without interference.”
Even worse, Johnston contended, it was obscene. The Miami Herald reported in August 2023 that “forcing an observant Muslim woman to remove her hijab in front of men who are not family is ‘humiliating and degrading,’ according to the lawsuit, which likened doing so to making a woman remove her shirt in public.”

A woman who is too ugly to be seen in public should not get $100,000 because someone was obligated to photograph her.
Literally.
eff’er and the goat she rode in on.
Probably needs to find herself a country where they encourage women to cover their faces.
There needs to be a special federal income tax on excessive legal awards and settlements - 100%.
Excessive means more than that which that the IRS agents handling the return find its reasoning justifies.
Living in Absurdistan.
A head covering is normally worn by a woman to show modesty and submission to Allah.
A hijab is typically worn in marginally civilized areas to avoid unwanted male attention.
What the hell is happening to red America?
Solution: Wear a habib, get deported...
The hijab does not cover the face. I do wonder if a Sikh would be required to remove his turban. If not on the premise that it is a religious item than her case was valid. But it could also be argued that a hijab unlike the Sikh turban is not an essential part of religious identity. Since many Muslim women do not wear one unless required to.
I any event the required removal was not worth that much of a payout.
I’ve been told there are many Muslims in Nashville, but don’t know the numbers. As of 2020, the city had 13.3% foreign-born residents and 8.6% non-citizens...Hispanic population was 10.5% so that could account for most of the foreign-born and non-citizens.
Ku Klux Klan in black. Racist muslims not willing to be part of the melting pot in the USA.
Ain’t that the truth.
Where's some bacon grease and an open flame when you need one?
violated her First Amendment right to practice her religion without interference.”
Tell that to the Christian’s who do jail time for praying or reading a bible in front of planned parenthood
^^^^THIS^^^^ x 1,000,000
Yep.
And pronto!
With a name like that shes a new Moslem and until she converted she was a slut who took all of her clothes off in front of men frequently...
Whats the odds ???
