Law Homework Help

Read this article from the New York Times Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) v. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/02/us/supreme-court-rules-in-samantha-elauf-abercrombie-fitch-case.htmlAbercrombie and Fitch. In this case the U.S. Supreme Court decided that a women who was denied employment at Abercrombie and Fitch because she wanted to wear a head scarf (hijab) could sue the company for employment discrimination. The company had argued that the hijab clashes with their dress code which they described as “classic east coast collegiate” style. The court said that the real reason Abercrombie denied her a job is that they did not want to accommodate her religious practice.  

In your original post discuss whether or not you agree with the court’s reasoning.  Did the company really try to disguise religious discrimination in its dress code or was maintaining their style a legitimate company interest? What would the company had to prove to defend themselves against this kind of claim?  Make sure you support your position on the case by referencing the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and how it applies.
