213. The clothing has to go with the business' image ...
it is not discrimination, it is the job requirement. I wouldn't support a sikh in a similar situation either.

I am Indian-American but I don't expect to work as a doctor wearing a loincloth.

Another example would be "Hooters" which wants to present a certain image for its waitresses and males are not hired for that job but are hired in other capacities.

Having said that, A-F could have offered her another job in the organization if she insisted on wearing a hijab.
