LOS ANGELES — Twenty-six-year-old Imane Boudal is suing Disneyland after the company’s Grand Californian Hotel wouldn’t allow her to work as a hostess while wearing a hijab. Boudal says she was told she couldn’t wear the hijab because it didn’t comply with Disney’s look, and the only way she could wear it was if she worked in an area where she wasn’t visible to customers. Boudal says the option was humiliating, and she refused it. She is bringing a lawsuit against Disney before the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, an agency that handles incidents of workplace discrimination.
