African-Americans can embrace their natural hair
Black students and employees in California can finally feel free to be themselves.
Wednesday, the Golden State becomes the first in the United States to ban employers and school officials from discriminating against people based on their natural hair.
The Crown Act makes it illegal to enforce dress code or grooming policies against hairstyles such as afros, braids, twists and locks.
"This law protects the right of black Californians to choose to wear their hair in its natural form, without pressure to conform to Eurocentric norms," state Sen. Holly Mitchell said earlier this year. "I am so excited to see the culture change that will ensue from the law."
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Even if that is accurate as written (not guaranteed) it says "dress code or grooming". It does NOT say hygiene or food prep standards. Once again, hyperbole inflates the thread title.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I agree it says dress code and grooming. Now how much you want to bet that will be used to say dreadlocks don't have to be wrapped in a FOOT HIGH HAT?

    Due to the sheer volume/size of some "hair dos"their is no way they can be properly stowed for food prep.

    And the info came from a article about new laws for 2020.



    And for what its worth hyperbole implies I didn't intend for it to be taken literally and I did.

    That was 18 years ago:

    A Florida judge denied her lawsuit that year, and a state appeals court later upheld the lower court's ruling. You can now rest easy...if that is possible.
