MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The American Civil Liberties Union is suing county officials in Alabama who told a Christian woman to remove her headscarf for her driver’s license photo.


Yvonne Allen of Tuskeegee says the clerk insisted that only Muslim women are allowed to cover their hair.


The ACLU’s suit filed Tuesday in Montgomery federal court says Lee County Clerk Becky Frayer and her supervisor, Probate Judge Bill English, are violating her religious freedom rights under the U.S. and state constitutions by refusing her repeated requests to take a new picture with her hair covered.


“In accordance with my Christian faith, I cover my hair with a headscarf,
but the DMV refused to take my driver license photo unless I removed it,”

When I was a kid, I remember my mom having the same issue at the DMV. She was wearing a headscarf because she had no hair due to chemo treatments. The woman at the DMV insisted she remove her scarf and my mom refused. The lady started getting nasty and mom just looked at her and said "I.HAVE.NO.HAIR.". I still have a picture of that driver's license with her wearing her little scarf.

There's a War on Christianity.

That's it? Just Christianity? You must really be oppressed. Should I, could I, sympathize with you?
