CROWN Act passed by Texas Senate (Houston: schools, legal, safety)

[Mr. Clutch]

Hair color has nothing to do with employee performance.

I do wish that people would stop stereotyping others based on their hair in general. Hair doesn't matter. If a person wants blue hair, great. If they want dreads or braids or twists, great. If they're a guy who wants a ponytail, great. It is not anyone else's decision.

Folks, whether it's schools, employers, or whoever need to mind their business and let people decide for themselves how they prefer to wear their hair. Hopefully this law will pave the way for a lot less hair discrimination going forward, no matter the victim.

Stop pretending to be a victim. Your attempt at gaslighting was pretty poor.

No one called you a racist. You're white, its an issue you wouldn't encounter. It doesn't make you a bad person or a racist. Certain groups face things and other groups don't. Hair discrimination is almost exclusively faced by people who are black.

We can agree to disagree. A lot of people with unnatural colors in their hair are attention seeking, but to each their own.

I'm not sure what being attention-seeking has to do with job or school performance.

More proof that legislatures are inept, incompetent, and impotent to deal with real issues.

Are you saying that people that dye their hair are problem employees?
Does that include people that dye their hair yellow?
Or you conveniently leave them out of that list?

You love to draw lines that are not there. You do it all over this forum as if you know the posters personally. Almost like you have a chip on your shoulder.

I was clear when I said blue, purple, pink, etc.

This is pointless as you and Clutch won't change my mind and I won't change y'alls. Just mindless back and fourth on the internet to waste some time.

You said most of the trouble employees at your work place dye their hair
I just asked if that includes yellow

Lol. It's just a stereotype, not uncommon these days unfortunately.

The Texas legislature, for all its warts and general ineptness, got this one right.

My granny use to say that school isn't about hair but what is underneath it.
Back way in the day when I was in elementary school, all us guys wanted to have long hair so that we could look cool like the Beatles. My step father would cut my hair bald though out of spite. So in the summertime I would always wear a knitted toboggan winter cap. One day my teacher made me take it off and then laughed at me after doing so.
Did all this cause me emotional abuse? I guess it did, but not as much as when my stepfather would paddle me for leaving the light on in the refrigerator.
