CWN - August 27, 2012
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed suit on behalf of Ashanti McShan, a Pentecostal teenage girl who was not permitted to begin work at a Burger King restaurant because she wished to wear a long skirt instead of pants.
?At the time of her interview for the job, Ms. McShan asked to wear a skirt instead of uniform pants as a religious accommodation,? the lawsuit states. ?Defendant assured her that she could wear a skirt to work. However, when she arrived at work for orientation, the store management informed Ms. McShan that she could not wear a skirt and that she had to leave the store ? The result of the foregoing practices has been to deprive Ashanti McShan of equal employment opportunities because of her religious beliefs and observances as a Christian Pentecostal.?
