Spc. Cesilia Valdovinos was demoted this week after she was caught breaking U.S. Army regulations.
Female members of the Army are required to put their hair in a bun for safety reasons. Cesilia was caught repeatedly wearing her hair down under her hijab, despite warnings, so she was demoted.
Now Valdovinos plans to sue the Army over a violation of her civil rights. She says she is a victim of religious discrimination.
The Army Times reported:
Following a rejected equal opportunity complaint and a demotion in rank, a Muslim soldier who has accused her Fort Carson, Colorado, leadership of religious discrimination is contemplating a federal lawsuit, her attorney confirmed to Army Times on Wednesday.
Spc. Cesilia Valdovinos, who was demoted this week following an unrelated Article 15 investigation, will file a complaint alleging violation of her civil rights either in northern Virginia or Denver, according to Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
This is a pattern and practice of anti-Muslim bigotry, prejudice and harassment, he said.
The 26-year-old culinary specialists story first went viral in mid-March, after she filed an EO complaint with her command based on an incident with her command sergeant major at the 704th Transportation Battalion.
The senior noncommissioned officer, believing that Valdovinos was wearing her hair down underneath her hijab ― rather than in a bun, per regulation ― demanded the soldier remove the head covering,
Her hair fell to her shoulders, Valdovinos told Army Times, because she uses the extra fabric in the cap to secure her bun. When she removes it, the bun falls out.
Army sources completely dispute her claims:

Permitting muslims of any race to serve in the US military is utter f*cking insanity. Having some as contractors serving as interpreters is a necessary evil. They are much worse than the homos and that takes you pretty far over the cliff.
Sort if reminds me of flash gear.
Which brings me to another point a yonko Stewie that I know who just graduated from boot camp told me that he thought all things being equal that women should have the same haircuts that men have in recruit training. I can’t disagree with that.
SHE already was busted a rank under an article 15!?!? Feel like an idiot for my last comments. The new bust is Icing for her command if upheld. Shes gone and Will be a darling for CAIR and progressives how mean the Army is and they will beat the dead horse of discrimination. I hope her recruiter wakes up in a cold sweat every night.
She said it was in a bun.
She said she was following regulations
I know she said it was in a bun, but if she took her thing off and no pony-tail holders and bobby pins came with it, it was not done up. Busted again.
Cover her with a body bag and hang her. Evil muslims break all our rules and won’t conform, while the rest of us don’t get an exception. Can’t exclude them, then punish them severely for breaking the rules.
allow the BS put up with the consequences
Just make all soldiers get a high and tight. Problem solved.
“This is EXACTLY why you do not allow muslims to integrate in any aspect of American life.”
TOTALLY AGREE with you. Wish they would all go away.
<>She does not belong in the army.<>
Nope. She doesn’t belong in America.
Sickening to think thats an American soldier. Shes more loyal to the moon god of the Middle East then she is to the constitution. I would love to hear her interview and see if she can even give the most cursory account of the principles of America.
Damn these SOBs that filled the military with enemies
“As always, Muslims eventually start demanding special treatment.”
Yes, that’s their SOP.
Kick the poge REMF Muslitard out of the Army.
That is a follower of the enemy religion and philosophy. Anybody still wonder if the US military wouldnt follow orders to fire on you? Or collect your guns?
Future headline Islamic army cook who has twice been disciplined, kills 14 soldiers by adding cyanide to a tray of food.
Tell me thats impossible, and that you would never see that headline.
I was thinking of that, too! An angry muslim in charge of food supply?!
That was my first thought as well. It seems like she should be able to honor both her religious tradition and the Army - at least with respect to hair regulations.
Since this is a volunteer military, she has no grounds.
Muslims and other hard core leftists demand equality until they get caught breaking the rules and then grab the first crutch available to sue....race, religion, sex, etc. She should know the courts are loath to interfere with military discipline. Whoever decided hijabs were ok for the Army is partially to blame for this as well. Are they allowing Christians to wear crosses outside their uniforms too?
