An employee of a Chicken Express restaurant in Texas says she faced religious discrimination when a manager sent her home for refusing to take off her hijab, a headscarf worn by many Muslim women.
Stefanae Coleman, 22, arrived at work on Monday wearing a hijab for the first time. As a recent convert to Islam, she said she was excited to don the religious covering and hopeful that her coworkers would be supportive.But the single mom was left feeling"disrespected, baffled and highly upset" when her manager, citing dress code requirements, told her she could not wear the hijab at work.
— Folake Adebola 💕 December 30, 2019 "Your job is your job. Your job has nothing to do with religion," the manager says on one of the videos."The job requires a specific uniform. [The hijab] is not a part of the uniform; you as a paid employee cannot wear it," he is heard saying in another video, citing the Chicken Express employee handbook. A copy of the handbook viewed by CNN does not reference the headscarf or any other religious clothing.
