Judge Overrules Private Company’s Dress Code

In a free country, only one thing would be required for employment: that both employee and employer come to a mutually acceptable arrangement. Conversely, in a soft tyranny run by dhimmified moonbats:

A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that trendy clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch wrongly fired a Muslim worker who insisted on wearing a head scarf.

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said the company violated anti-discrimination laws when it fired Hani Khan from its Hollister store in San Mateo in 2010. …

The company claimed the head scarf violated its policy governing the look of its employees, which it said was part of its marketing strategy. The store argued that deviating from its look policy would affect sales.

But the judge said Abercrombie & Fitch offered no “credible evidence” that Khan’s head scarf cost the company any sales.

Imagine trying to run a business when you have to justify marketing strategy to moonbat judges who couldn’t run a lemonade stand. To state the obvious, if the government tells you who you must employ, you do not live in a free country, no matter how allegedly enlightened the motives of the tyrants in charge.
