Burger King 'fired Pentecostal teenage girl who wouldn't wear pants and would only wear skirts'

'It was a very simple request - to be able to wear a long black skirt and not black pants, and it was initially granted'

A Texas teen says she was fired from Burger King because she wore a skirt as part of the restaurant’s uniform, instead of pants.

Ashanti McShan says her manager signed off on her request to wear a skirt on the job, in compliance with her beliefs as a Pentecostal Christian, but when she showed up to work at the fast food joint in Grand Prairie, Texas, she was told it was pants-only and she would have to go.

A lawsuit, filed Wednesday by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), against the local franchise operator accuses the chain of unlawful employment practices for failing to respect Ms McShan’s religious beliefs.
