The topic will be the religious exemption requests in the workplace to accommodate wearing a beard for religious purposes. We will be looking at the issue of service in the military and requirements. Still, there are several implications for different clothing or appearance exemptions in the broader workplace.

Case: The roots of this case begin in 2015 with Captain Simratpal “Simmer” Singh. Your goal for this week is to explore the case of Captain Signh and research the case and implications, including cases occurring as recently as 2023.

Context:

The Army has granted a decorated officer, who is Sikh, permission to wear a religious beard and turban in uniform, ending a protracted battle that pitted individual religious freedom rights against what the military said was a need for uniformity and strict safety standards.
Capt. Simratpal Singh, a lifelong Sikh who shaved his beard when admitted to West Point a decade ago, asked the Army in October to allow him to begin wearing a beard and turban.
Facing a discrimination lawsuit, the Army granted him a temporary accommodation in December of 2015.
Questions for Consideration:

What was the outcome of the specific case at hand?
Explain the position from the military perspective and Captain Singh’s perspective.
What has occurred since this case related to those requesting religious accommodation with the military?
