ROMANS: A California college student is suing Abercrombie & Fitch claiming she was fired for not removing her headscarf. Hani Kahn says she was initially told she could wear a hijab or headscarf at a Hollister store which is owned by Abercrombie & Fitch, but a visiting district manager saw the headscarf, said it was not allowed during work hours, and when she refused to take it off, she was fired.</s>VELSHI: Coming up in about half an hour, we're going to talk to Hani Kahn about what she calls the shock of being fired by Abercrombie & Fitch.</s>CHETRY: And we wanted to ask what you think about the situation. Should a Muslim worker be fired for refusing to take off the headscarf for religious reasons? It's our question of the day. We want to read a few responses this morning. One is from Thomas Galante on Facebook. "Baseball is my religion but I'm not allowed to wear a baseball cap. Company policy is company policy. If she was fired for being Muslim, that is wrong."</s>ROMANS: Benny on Facebook says, "The more I look into it, the more I believe that Hollister handled the situation incorrectly. If the scarf didn't match their dress code then they shouldn't have hired her."</s>VELSHI: Of course Hollister is the part of Abercrombie & Fitch she worked for. Steve says, "She should just follow the dress code. Jobs are sparse. I would wear a clown suit if it paid the bills."</s>CHETRY: Thanks for --</s>CHETRY: Yes, they are interesting.</s>VELSHI: Yes.</s>CHETRY: We're going to get some more coming up in the next hour as well. We're going to take a quick break. Top of the hour coming up in just a moment.
