Just wondering if anyone here has either been fired, or been refused a job because of their hair? And what did you do about it? I've found stories online of people taking it to court on religious grounds and want to hear your story

Yes, I live in the US... I actually just got a job with UPS recently and the boss has no problem with it. soaringeagle said:
