Kawanda is a practicing Muslim and police officer. She requests that her employer, the Gotham City Police Department, allow her to wear a khimar (a form of headscarf that extends to the waist) along with her uniform. The police department denies her request as a violation of the police department's uniform regulation, which specifically bars police officers in uniform from wearing religious dress or symbols under all circumstances and makes no medical or secular exceptions. After the denial, Kawanda appeared to work wearing a khimar on three separate occasions and was sent home each time and then suspended. Kawanda files a complaint of religious discrimination.
A) Kawanda will prevail because the EEOC 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 prevail because the police department did not offer her a reasonable accommodation.
C) Kawanda will not prevail because the police department can demonstrate that it would suffer an undue hardship if required to accommodate the Kawanda because the uniform regulations were designed to maintain religious neutrality, promote the need for uniformity, enhance cohesiveness, cooperation, and the esprit de corps of the police force.
D) Kawanda will not prevail because most citizens will not approve of a police officer wearing a long headscarf.
