The Abercrombie Religious Discrimination Case
Religious diversity in the United States is increasing, and so are charges of religious discrimination. From 1999 to 2008, the U.S. Equal Employment OpportunityCommission (EEOC) received an average of 2,447 charges of such discrimination each year.

The case ' EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch ' involves Abercrombie & Fitch's decision to deny employment to Samantha Elauf because she wore a headscarf to her interview.
