Hair discrimination?

California has become the first US state to make race-related hair discrimination illegal.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed the ‘CROWN Act' into law on Wednesday, prohibiting employers and schools from enforcing hair-grooming policies that restrict natural hairstyles such as Afros and protective styles.

"The CROWN Act is redefining the cultural norms of 'professional images' for all people," said Senator Holly J. Mitchell, who first introduced the bill, ushering it through the California Senate in April and the California Assembly in June.

The bill was strongly supported by the CROWN Coalition, an alliance made up of the National Urban League, Western Center on Law & Poverty, Color Of Change, and the Unilever-owned beauty giant Dove. The acronym stands for ‘Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.' The coalition is also supporting similar bills in New York and New Jersey.




Evidently this is enough of a thing that California felt compelled to pass a law.

Yes as ridiculous as those hairstyles may be, I'll still allow them.

 

[timosman]

What if my hairstyle consists of my own shit smeared over my head? Would I still be allowed? Where is the line? Is there a line?

Fine with me. I'll even plug my nose with a clothespin so I don't have to smell it.

St. Louis-Hairstyle discrimination ban

ST. LOUIS– In 2019, California became the first state in the country to pass The CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair. The measure made it illegal to discriminate against black employees or students on the basis of their hairstyles. Since then, other states including Washington, New York, Colorado and Virginia have passed similar pieces of legislation.

On Friday, St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones signed the bill into law.

“Hair discrimination is discrimination and so many black and brown people with natural or curly hair have faced discrimination in the workplace in other places or in school for a long time, ” she said.

The new law prohibits “discrimination in employment and housing decisions including, without limitation hiring, advancement and compensation and discrimination in housing practices based upon an individual’s hairstyle, protective hair, or natural or cultural hair texture or style.”

A similar bill was introduced for consideration by the St. Louis County Council last month. Kansas City already has an ordinance in effect.

My hair is past my shoulders, but if I had to get a crew cut to feed my family, I would do it.

If you wish to be a weirdo, it's best to only do things that you can undo in a day. You never know when you may need to go to court, blend in, whatever.

Wait... since it's the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair, does that mean we don't have to put up with weaves any more?
