Loc are a NO at Six Flags
Here's a story I recently uncovered from 2010.
2 African-American women were denied employment
at Six Flags in Largo, MD for having locs.
Janet Bello, 23, on the right was told by Six Flags
that her locs were an extreme hairstyle and because
of this could not be hired at Six Flags.
ABC News uncovered a company policy that states the company
does not permit "any hairstyle that detracts or takes away from the
Six Flags' theme." Now, what could they mean by theme?
And Six Flags issued a statement to ABC News:
"Six Flags enforces a conservative grooming policy across all parks. The policy does not permit certain hairstyles such as variations in hair colors, dreadlocks, partially shaved heads, tails, and hairstyles that impair vision. Braided hair is allowed but must be in neat, even rows and without beads or other ornaments."
A spokesperson for the American Civil Liberties Union said that locs are inherently unprofessional is racially insensitive, at best
& potentially discriminatory -- at worst.
Jackie Sherrill, 60 (left) worked the previous summer wearing locs at Six Flags. She even got a letter to come back for employment.
A supervisor, however, saw her locs and told her she would not be
welcomed back unless she changed her hairstyle.
Sidebar: 2000 FedEx fired several of its New York employees who refused to cut their locs. A settlement was reached in 2006,
that recognized locs for religious reasons.
Locs are a natural hairstyle. Moreover, it's a lifestyle.
An employer discriminating against locs which is natural is racist. Perhaps locs make certain people uncomfortable. I guess some employers prefer that sisters come to work sweating bullets under their scalp-suffocating weaves or wigs.

Simple daily cooking is not just one thing that moms and dads can do. Children can start at an early age studying about elements and simple two or three step recipes.

Really I can’t believe this! Denying the opportunity on the basis of these criteria is something ridiculous. Everybody has got some human rights, then why such discrimination still exists in this modern world? We have to raise our hands against such cruelty towards the mankind.

Politicians come from all walks of life, and most career paths can eventually lead to a change of career to politician. While some people know they want to be a politician all their lives, many end up falling upon the passion and path much later. Thanks.

Prior to joining with Onelife, I was working with mining company from South Australia and it was difficult for me to achieve my goals. The best thing I have ever done for myself is doing this Life Magic Course. Now I can travel to my favourite destinations around the world and do so much incredible things that I never thought of doing. OneLife has given me more than all those things together.
