[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 189769, member: 35"] Go-kart company which asked 4 Sikh boys to remove turbans remains firm on policy IP Singh [url]http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ludhiana/Go-kart-company-which-asked-4-Sikh-boys-to-remove-turbans-remains-firm-on-policy/articleshow/22022265.cms?[/url] JALANDHAR: Maintaining that it was its uniform policy not to allow any type of head wear to ensure safety, California-based Family Entertainment Center (FEC), Boomers, which asked four Sikh boys to remove their turbans for go-karting last week, has expressed its firmness to continue with the norms and policy - to maintain safety for all and to avoid having any type of discriminatory policy. In his response to the representation sent by North American Punjabi Association (NAPA), which had taken up the matter with the company, Gregg Borman, senior vice-president, FEC division has held that even while they acknowledged that a turban properly tied would secure long hair, the turban could still loosen and unravel thus becoming a separate safety hazard with choking or even decapitation a possibility. NAPA executive director Satnam Singh Chahal while sending the letter to Borman had said that the turban was an inseparable part of the Sikh identity. "Understandably, you have a policy where it is considered unsafe to ride a go kart with long open hair. We are surprised at the unofficial paper presented to the family which states that a turban is not allowed either. On the contrary, the turban is not loose or hanging, but is securely tied on the head thus supporting your policy of tying and keeping secure long open hair," he had argued. However Borman held "our safety rules cover all head wear, loose clothing and long hair. They are not discriminatory, as they apply to everyone and are designated as safety rules". "We have taken a position that no head wear is permitted because that's is safest for all and it simultaneously avoids having any type of discriminatory policy," he added. While also sending a list of links about the accidents have happened while go-karting with head-wear Borman held "offending any of our guests is not our intent; keeping our guests and team members' safe is our highest priority even before profits". However the incidents mentioned by the company include a hijab or head scarf which led to the accident. "We hope the majority of our Sikh guests will understand why we have the safety rules in place and respect that we must treat all guests equally when applying these safety rules. It is all about safety, with a policy equally applicable to all," he said. [/QUOTE]
