EEOC Sues Chipotle on Behalf of a Muslim Teenager Who Endured Harassment at Kansas Location

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has sued Chipotle after receiving a complaint about the harassment of and retaliation toward a teenage Muslim employee at one of its Lenexa stores.

An assistant manager repeatedly asked a 19-year-old employee to remove her hijab so he could see her hair, according to a complaint filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.

He even forcibly removed the head covering partially in one instance, but Chipotle didn’t discipline and failed to protect the teen from ongoing harassment, according to the complaint.
