Un hecho ligado a la discriminación ocurrió en el parque de diversiones Six Flags en Oklahoma, Estados Unidos, luego de que una mujer fuera expulsada después que los trabajadores del lugar consideraran que vestía unos shorts “demasiado cortos”. El suceso quedó grabado en video, se viralizó en las redes sociales y generó polémica.
La protagonista de esta historia es Bailey Breedlove, quién reveló que el administrador del parque de diversiones la avergonzó y amenazó públicamente por “usar shorts demasiado cortos”.
La madre de familia y paciente con autismo mostró el momento de la agresión por parte de los agentes de seguridad quienes le pidieron que se retirara del lugar.
De acuerdo con su testimonio, la expulsión del parque se originó luego de que la hija rodara colina abajo con sus zapatos de “Skate Heelys”, lo que generó que un policía del parque le gritara a la pequeña.
Update: we have spoken with the Oklahoma police department captain and he assured us this was NOT an Oklahoma city police officer.
This was my experience at six flags. Trying to at least get my money back and let everyone know about their "policies":

Hello. I was at your park and 4/30/21. My experience there was traumatizing. I purchased tickets and parking online which was a lot of money. My family an I were welcomed into your park just fine at 5 pm. We were having fun, enjoying rides and spending money on what we thought was going to be a great vacation spot in Oklahoma city. About 7 pm my daughter was yelled at by a park police officer for rolling down a hill on her heelies right next to me, I was holding her hand. Then she proceeded to follow me and grabbed my shoulder to turn me around and proceeded to tell me my shorts were "too short". I committed no crime and proceeded to walk to my boyfriend as I am autistic and have a hard time talking to officers. She followed me yelling and calling for backup. Then your incompetent manager showed up and began body shaming me. I was told I needed to go buy new shorts which I am not obligated to purchase anything I don't want to. Then I was threatened with criminal trespassing when I agreed to buy new shorts so my family could enjoy their vacation. I was then pushed and escorted toward the entrance. Accepting this, we were about to leave and were blocked by your female officer from leaving and she pulled out her cuffs and demanded my ID. When we asked for probable cause their answer was "because they are the police". At this point we started recording so we do have video of the unlawful tactics. They wouldn't provide us with badge numbers and I was terrified I was about to go to jail over a pair of shorts. Your officers had my 11 year old daughter crying hysterically thinking her mother was about to be arrested. Your policies are vague and confusing and the way you body shame and discriminate is unlawful. I paid a lot of money at your park for our family vacation and I believe I deserve a refund for the trauma caused to my family over a pair of shorts on a hot day. I will not be letting this go as this is 2021 and not middle school. The Oklahoma police department has been contacted as well as an attorney. I have a 5 year ban now but will not be returning to any of your parks if this is how you treat woman and law abiding citizens and visitors. You should be ashamed with yourselves.

Posteriormente, contó Bailey Breedlove, el policía la tomó del brazo con la intención de expulsarla bajo el argumento de que sus shorts eran demasiado cortos.
No obstante, debido a sus condición autista, Bailey se dirigió a su novio pues le cuesta trabajo hablar con los oficiales, pero ante dicha acción los elementos de seguridad comenzaron a gritarle y a solicitar refuerzo para obligarla a retirarse de las instalaciones.
La madre explicó que la actitud mostrada por el administrador del parque fue grosera porque comenzó a avergonzarla, con comentarios como que debía de comprarse unos nuevos shorts.
Por esta situación, Breedlove acusó al administrador del parque y a la policía de haberla agredido, luego de que debido a su autismo ella quería que su novio hablara con los agentes, pero estos comenzaron a gritar todo tipo de cosas para luego obligarla a retirarse del parque.
Finalmente, tras compartir su experiencia a través de sus redes sociales, la mujer recibió un sin número de comentarios de apoyo por parte de miles de usuarios quienes además condenaron la actitud tanto de la policía como de los trabajadores del parque.
