According to the suit filed Wednesday, the district in October 2010 instituted a new grooming policy preventing school police officers and security guards from having beards longer than a quarter of an inch.
School police officer Siddiq Abu-Bakr maintained an untrimmed beard for the 27 years he worked at the district, the suit states. Abu-Bakr is a member of the Islamic faith, which he says requires that he not cut his beard.
When Abu-Bakr notified his supervisor his religious beliefs precluded him from complying with the new policy, he was allegedly issued a written reprimand cautioning that continued violation of the rule would result in “further disciplinary action.”

Holder is a Muslim just like Obama. Time to clean house people.
Muslim religion is not the only spiritual path that has a beard involvement. As a person with strong views on my "long" hair and beard I think that the only regulation that needs to be in place should be personal hygiene related. This is from a person who has had to have to many talks with people in both a supervisory and non supervisory position.
I give thanks for indoor plumbing even if my balding head tries to clog up the drain
What qualifies ones beliefs a religion? Muslims also allow for men to have four wives. Where does this begin? Where does it stop?
I am a individualist, my religion requires me to have sex with as many women as I can. This being what I devoutly believe, I sometimes have to pay women for sex, this is said to be against the law in the USA, is this also not religious discrimination?

Huh?
We take religion, Christmas, Easter and God out of schools for Christians(the Majority), but we have Obama appointees bending over backwards for the Muslims? WTH is wrong with you liberal idiots for voting for Democrats. You morons are doing every thing you can to make this a Mexican/Muslim country. What ever happened to the America we knew just a few short years ago. Muslims can really be nasty with their hygiene and their beliefs.
Holder is also suing for students to have to use their left index finger at the toilet as commanded in the Koran..
A person with such Islamic faith cannot be objective. This should disqualify him for the position of "school police officer"
Time for Abu and Duck Commander to team up on this one!
