What do they need training for they did their job enforcing the courtroom rules.
City court workers including a municipal judge in an Atlanta suburb will undergo sensitivity training after police arrested a Muslim woman for refusing to remove her religious headscarf before attending a hearing.
Bullshit.
Akil Secret, an attorney representing Valentine, said a lawsuit is likely.
Meanwhile, police dispute details of the incident.
Valentine said she was accompanying her nephew to a traffic citation hearing when officials stopped her at the metal detector and told her she couldn't enter the courtroom with the headscarf, known as a hijab.
Valentine said she objected and turned to leave, but officers stopped her.
She later was brought before Rollins, who ordered her held for contempt of court.
Rollins did not return a call from The Associated Press Wednesday.
But a department news release says Valentine argued with authorities, called the judge racist and repeated expletives until an officer grabbed her wrist.
Authorities say Rollins found her in contempt for fighting with one of the officers, not for wearing a scarf. However, police released Valentine after Whisenant determined there had not been a fight.
Lawsuit my ass in the original article her own husband admitted what happened.
Valentine's husband, Omar Hall, said his wife was accompanying her nephew to a traffic citation hearing when officials stopped her at the metal detector and told her she would not be allowed in the courtroom with the head scarf, known as a hijab.
Hall said Valentine, an insurance underwriter, told the bailiff that she had been in courtrooms before with the scarf on and that removing it would be a religious violation. When she turned to leave and uttered an expletive, Hall said a bailiff handcuffed her and took her before the judge.
Sounds like she is one in need of training. Yes more sensitivity training is going to help us misguided Americans accept Muslim women in head scarfs while they unleash a barrage of obscenities.
I have one for you. How about you and your scarf go fuck yourself.
A lawsuit......of course there is nothing in their religion of peace against acting like a twat and suing people.

As a moslim im asking you to do just what you belave that provate jesuse told you (LOVE YOUR F**KING ENEMY) which in this case is us :)
On the one hand, I have no problem with a true Muslim woman wearing a her headscarf in a courtroom - especially if she is not directly involved in the proceedings.
On the other hand, I believe that Ms Valentine is "worldly" enough to have known what would happen if she tried to enter the court wearing her headscarf.
I think she was intentionally trying to provoke an "incident" in order to file a lawsuit.
As for Read Ma Lips, I would think that a real Muslim would 1) know how to spell the word, and 2) know that since Christians are "of the Book" they are not their "enemies".
Da Possum
Actually I am a Sith so we are more inclined to lop off your head and impale it on a spit as a warning to others.
As usual you miss the point. I sincerely hope Mrs Hall tries the exact same behavior going through airport security sometime and see how far it gets her with TSA.
