(Kansas City Star) A Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization has filed a federal lawsuit against Frontier Justice in Lee’s Summit claiming the gun range’s dress code discriminates against Muslim women in hijab.
Rania Barakat, who was named as the plaintiff in the lawsuit, contends that staff at Frontier Justice denied her access to the gun range … after she refused to remove her hijab, a religious head covering worn by Muslim women, according to a news release from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington, D.C.-based civil rights organization.
The lawsuit alleging that Frontier Justice discriminates based on religion was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City by CAIR and the Independence law firm of Baldwin & Vernon in Independence.
