Kawanda,a practicing Muslim,is in the Army.Several years ago,she requested that her commander allow her to wear a khimar (a form of headscarf that extends to the waist) with her uniform.Her request was denied as a violation of the military dress regulation,which specifically barred wearing religious dress or symbols while in uniform.After the denial,Kawanda reported to duty wearing a khimar on three separate occasions and was demoted.Kawanda filed a complaint of religious discrimination.Which of the following is most likely to be true in this case?
A) Kawanda will win because the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has successfully won at least one case of religious discrimination when an employer refused to allow a Muslim woman to wear a headscarf.
B) Kawanda will win because the Army did not offer her a reasonable accommodation.
C) Kawanda will not win because the Army can demonstrate an overriding consideration in that the uniform regulations were designed to maintain military cohesion.
D) Kawanda will not win because the military is exempt from Title VII.
