If you weren't aware consider this as your notification.  Missouri recently passed a legislation to make it impossible to sue for housing and employment discrimination. According to The Associated Press, the new law is slated to take effect Aug. 28. It will require people suing for discrimination to prove that a protected class such as race, gender, age or ability was "the motivating factor" for disciplinary action from an employer. Under current law, employees must only prove that their protected class contributed to an employer's decision to fire, discipline or refuse to hire them.

Apparently Missouri was one the easiest places to sue a company and win. 38  other states have laws in place to protect the "so-called" businesses against discrimination. Proving discrimination is hard, however; it occurs on a daily basis. It's even worst that innocent kids are being targets. Companies will find loop holes to finagle themselves out to keep form losing millions.

When statistics shows 75 percent of black drivers are likely to be pulled over than whites drivers becomes a larger issue that the governor seems to be sweeping under the rug. With the recent rise in police brutality the situation in Missouri will only get worst. I found it disturbing when the NAACP had to issue a travel ban because the legislation is a infringement upon your civil rights.  According to CNN, the NAACP urges individuals to "warn your families, co-workers and anyone visiting Missouri to beware of the safety concerns with travel in Missouri." These concerns, the organization writes, could include unnecessary search and seizures and potential arrest.
