My question involves civil rights in the State of: Florida
I believe my rights were violated, and I was unfairly and arbitrarily singled out and denied services by a federally and state funded private agency.
I was seeking a service at a state/federally funded employment assistance agency in Florida. I was denied service, and told by an employee and a supervisor that I was in violation of their "dress code".
The issue is, there were several other patrons who were clearly in violation of their stated dress code who were receiving services.
I pointed this out to the employee and the supervisor and was told "that's different"
However, the policy clearly states no person will receive services if they violate the dress code. (I've never before been denied a government service because of a dress code, this is bizarre)
I believe this was an arbitrary, random, and discriminatory action by this agency.
The "dress code" was only applied to me, even after I pointed out specific persons who were clearly in violation.
Furthermore, the supervisor did not even apply the dress code appropriately, and lied to me by stating that it was "different" for the other people there.
I also believe that in general, this "dress code" is likely a severe burden on some people, especially low income people, and should be changed.
I believe this dress code to be inappropriate and possibly a violation of rights to access of services, and perhaps even federal law.
I have other important details about this, but do not want to make the post too long.
Input greatly appreciated.
Thanks
