The Supreme Court is being urged to take up a discrimination case from a Muslim bus driver in California who claims she was fired unfairly after being pressured not to wear her hijab.With the petition Cross v. Central Contra Costa Transit Authority, Shannon Cross asked the high court to reverse a lower court’s decision to summarily dismiss her lawsuit alleging she was fired for a discriminatory reason after facing mockery and hostility for wearing her hijab as part of her religious beliefs, despite her supervisors’ characterization of her termination as a result of her collision with a biker. Cross alleged other drivers kept their jobs after similar collisions.Cross alleged that she was initially barred from wearing her hijab, with her employers pointing to a no-hat policy, but was later granted a religious exemption. She claimed that she was verbally harassed multiple times for wearing her hijab, saying that human resources declined to do anything after she reported the repeated alleged harassment. Cross said she was fired six weeks after complaining to HR, after being involved in a collision with a cyclist while driving the bus. She alleges that both video evidence and a bicycle safety expert’s testimony proved that the cyclist was at fault, but that she was fired regardless, and that one of the people who made the decision had previously harassed her about her hijab.
