Supreme Court to Hear Case of Muslim Who Says Abercrombie & Fitch Denied Her Job Because of Hijab

The Supreme Court on Wednesday (Feb. 25) will hear the case of a young Muslim woman who says Abercrombie & Fitch illegally denied her a job because she wears a hijab in keeping with her faith. The store argues that company policy used to forbid floor "models" — the company's word for store employees who interact with customers — from wearing caps, and that it was up to Samantha Elauf, 17 at the time of her interview, to make it clear that she needed a religious accommodation.
