... and I can't believe that length of male hair - whether black or white - can still be an issue anywhere. Some culture wars never stop.

Oh, it keeps popping up in K-12 schools with controlling principals. I thought we resolved that in the 60s.

Unfortunately, not a parody.

THE CROWN ACT (https://www.naacpldf.org/crown-act/#:~:text=The%20legislation%20demands%20protection%20against,been%20enacted%20in%2022%20states)

This act is being passed in many states exactly because hair discrimination exists. And Texas passed it last year, so it's a shame that a court case is necessary.
