It has come to my attention that people are being fired or denied jobs because they wear locs. According to a HuffPost article:
"A black women named Chastity Jones, who was getting ready to start a job with Catastrophe Management Solutions in Mobile, Alabama, in 2010, claimed that the company discriminated against her because of her locs. Jones said that a white human resources manager told her that her locs were against company policy since they 'tend to get messy.' After Jones refused to change her hairstyle, she claims her offer was withdrawn, and she complained to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission."
This is discriminatory and blatantly racist. I propose that congress makes it illegal to terminate or deny employment based on a hairstyle that is largely associated with POC.
