(NY Daily News) Three humiliated Muslim moms and their eight kids were barred from boarding an NYC Ferry for two hours over a vague “security issue” that turned a fun family outing into a tear-filled disaster, the families charged in a complaint filed Wednesday.
The three women, including two wearing hijabs on the outing from Brooklyn to Manhattan, recounted how their Sept. 19 excursion became an embarrassment — detailing in a 16-page filing with the city Commission on Human Rights how the children were weeping and confused by their mistreatment at the hands of two ferry workers.
“Complainants were embarrassed and humiliated, especially since the incidents occurred in public view of all ferry passengers,” the three families charged.
