Excerpt:
A Muslim woman filed a discrimination suit Tuesday against a Sacramento company, alleging she was fired because she wanted to wear a religious head scarf on the job.
Zaylanin Southavilay, 30, who is of Vietnamese ancestry, is suing National Credit Acceptance, a debt collection agency where she worked for 17 days in September.
The suit was filed in Sacramento Superior Court by the San Francisco-based Asian Law Caucus and the Rosen, Bien and Galvan law firm representing Southavilay.
