[BravestDog]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? CA

Can a facility in the City of Oakland, CA, Alameda County...who's job is to provide computers, phones, counseling to the public for no cost...re employment assistance...

can they tell me that I must:

1. wear long pants while using their facilities. (no shorts allowed)

I asked them if I could wear a lava lava, which is a kind of wrap of material that is like a womens skirt, worn by polynesian men. They told me that I could not wear a lava lava. Is this illegal?

2. take off my hat while using their facilities?

I asked them about wearing a turban for religious purposes and they said it would be up to me to provide them with some kind of proof in regards to whether I can or cannot wear the turban...that I could not wear a turban unless I showed them some kind of proof. I asked them what type of proof and they could not clearly define what they wanted. Is this legal?

I wrote a letter to the manager and asked to provide their legal source or to contact their legal source and ask them for their response. I don't think they plan on assisting me with my questions.

Is this legal re the

1. must wear long pants

2. must not wear hats???

Anyone like to respond with anything?

Of course they can, unless you can provide proof that your dress is a direct result of your religious beliefs.
