But when she sat down for her driver’s license photo, that wasn’t okay with the clerk in Auburn, Ala. But now she’s suing for the right to wear her religiously sanctioned headgear in her driver’s license photo, just as Muslim women can do in Alabama. Alabama’s 2004 policy on driver’s license photos states that drivers can wear head coverings for religious reasons as long as their full face is visible. Frayer, the chief clerk, repeated that only Muslims can wear headscarves in their photos. Now, she says that each time she must show her driver’s license, she feels she is violating her biblical belief all over again by showing her hair.
