Disney's compromise hat
Coverage from the ACLU here . Their point is she could be Princess Jasmine.
After all, who is Disney to tell employees they can't play a character of choice.
The Disney Marketing Dept better start working on a new slogan.
This is why Islam is incompatible with western civilization and must be nipped in the bud. This is the stinking camel's nose under the tent.
If she really wants to live under Islamic law, she shouldn’t even be working. She should be at home and only go outside with a male companion. And she should be beaten for having a picture taken without being in a burqua.
Maker her work out of the public eye and wear it.
Make her work out of the public eye and wear it.
Disney, please do not cave in, if you do I will no longer patronize your theme parks, I will no longer pay to see your movies and I will visit all the internet discussion groups from Mouseplanet to WDW Magic trolling against anything positive about Disney.
I did a similar attack against Eisner back then, and we know the results, so lets just agree that you don’t want Islam involved with Disney operations. You will have more support like Chick Fil A by making a stand against Islam.
“The Constitution tells me I can be Muslim, and I can wear the head scarf. Who is Disney to tell me I cannot?”
... your employer. Uniforms are common and are not directed to debase your religious beliefs, hence the “reasonable accomodation” of the compromise hat. The wage you earn is not free, it is traded for the value of your services. In return for the wage, you cease to pursue your own priorities for the objectives of the larger entity who - in this instance - has a proven record for being a profitable enterprise in the business of front-line entertainment.Some of the income is used to pay your wages. During your hours on duty, you are expected to put yourself second because YOUR system is not tested, not profitable, and not viable, and you have taken no risk whatsoever to establish your version of Disney - although you a FREE to try. Put on the hat and do your job. Same goes for those with a face piercings, tattoos, neck rings, sharpened teeth: There are more suitable employers for these folks.
I can’t resist...
I suppose she will be the first member of “The Mosque-teer Club”
(audible groan)
(apologies)
The one upside to this is that the lawyers the House of Mouse uses make sharks look friendly and harmless. There’s quite a bit of caselaw already in place that says individual businesses are within their own rights to demand a particular dress code or provide alternative positions for those who cannot comply in a specialized role. Those lawyers are going to render this woman’s case down like month-old roadkill going through a disposal shredder.
I have an idea... put this Muslim woman in the animated exhibit of the “It’s a Small World” attraction. It’s a classic, and she can dress the part! Boring work, but at least it allows her to dress in her traditional manner.
I find it fascinating that so many women have accepted a faith that treats them like cattle.
As for this policy, everyone knows that it is Disney policy to celebrate diversity by making everything exactly the same. And somewhat bland. Don't want to overwhelm or scare the little ones, doncha know.
She wants a hijab, she should get a hijab. A hijab to the forehead, followed by a right hook to the kidney, and then a left uppercut to the chin.
... but only realized she could wear her hijab to work after studying for her U.S. citizenship exam.
Apparently she didn't study well enough to realize the First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law...", not "Disney shall make no law...".
Actually Imane, its your religion that makes a joke of your religion.
When "Aladdin" came out, the Muslims screamed to have the lyrics to the music changed, and Disney caved. So the precedent has been set.
Even Disney's vaunted legal hit squads cannot fight Political Correctness.
