Have I told CAIR to bite me lately?

Clinic to Muslim Doctor - It's Policy bars Headscarves.

The set-up:

A Muslim doctor interviewing for a job at a suburban Dallas medical clinic says officials there told her she couldn't wear her headscarf in the workplace.Dr. Hena Zaki of Plano, Texas, said Friday that she was shocked when CareNow officials told her that a no-hat policy extended to her hijab.

Dinah's rebuttal:

I was a nurse at a Catholic hospital back in the 70's. The nun/nurses did not wear the traditional habit then. They don't wear them now.

These dirty habits/schmattas/hijabs that the 7th century throwbacks are caterwauling about as being their civil right are nothing but microbe traps - that’s why you don’t see nursing caps these days either.

Circo-electric bed in action. (You should have seen the Stryker Frame) Note the nursing helmets. -->

(I loved my nursing cap - or helmet as I called it, and was proud to wear it. But after it fell off as I bent under a Circo-Electric bed to clean up an involuntary bowel movement by a poor quadriplegic patient, well, even I had to admit that hospital officials might have a point about the sanitation issue.)

CAIR's involvement:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations calls CareNow's policy ''a blatant violation'' of federal law.

Justice Roberts, if you are reading this - I beg of you to make a ruling once and for all. (And please rule on the side of modernity and sanitation.)
