Institutional racism comes in many forms, & this is one of them.

This is exactly why I fought to pass the #CROWNAct . By ruling that a school can suspend a Black teen over his hair, the courts are blatantly upholding racial discrimination.

It's shameful and must be overturned.

Love a good protective style in academia… our hair is professional #crownact #BlackHistoryMonth ❤️ shoutout to #darrylgeorge

The #CROWNAct – Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair – is awaiting movement in the Senate. House Bill 1394 would amend the PHRA to clarify that the term ‘race’ includes traits associated with race, including hair texture and protective hairstyles.

I generally stay away from controversial topics on here but had to speak on this during #BlackHistoryMonth . I did a #visitingprofessorship in December & the fact that I showed up with #barreltwists was more important to the Black #medicalstudents than anything I said. #crownact

He’s right. Now that it’s been determined that the price tag for the #CROWNAct is low — we knew that all along — the ONLY reason not to pass the bill is #racism .

#FroFriday : Shoutout to the beautiful ladies of Excelsior High School in Jamaica for rocking their natural coils and curls for Afro Day! ​

We are loving every ounce of their CROWNs. 👑​

The Senate in #PuertoRico is voting on the #CrownAct (aka la Ley Contra el Discrimen Por Razón de Estilos de Cabello). The passing of PS 1282 is essential to addressing racial discrimination and anti-blackness in workplaces, schools, and more in Puerto Rico.

LanaQuest aka RosaSparks As an old white woman, it makes me very sad and very, very angry that the damn government wants to control hair styles. It's vile.
IMO, this is a civil liberty abuse.

Does Governor Katie Hobbs condone this type of a teacher in Arizona?

She allowed a fake black woman at her #CrownAct on March 17, 2023

The same Christofascists that worship a white Jesus with long hair, want to dictate how long a black, male student’s hair is. GMAFB with the hypocrisies.

What is about a Black boy with long hair that prevents him from LEARNING—& for which he must be PUNISHED❓Long haired Albert Einstein & Frederick Douglass were 2 of the most undeniably BRILLIANT Americans, but apparently TOO STUPID to study in TX schools. #DarylGeorge #CrownAct

Oh this is so incalculably wrong. How is this not covered by the #CrownAct ?!

Someone needed to see this today so I’m just going to leave it right…. here

First time wearing my natural hair on air! The ability to wear my God given hair is a blessing! Thank you to all the women who paved the way to make this day possible! Officially a Curly Girl on Air!

Long haired and learned Thomas Jefferson—as well as his Black male descendants—might be expelled under a Texas school district’s ’ no long hair policy for boys. The policy is sexist by design and racist in application. #CrownAct #DarylGeorge

Today’s court ruling against Darryl George is a setback for justice.

No student should be kept out of the classroom for wearing their natural hair.

Proud to have my beautiful, miraculous kids on the floor today as Senate pages to file the #CROWNAct and my proposed amendment to the Kentucky Constitution prohibiting slavery and indentured servitude under any circumstance. #kyga24

By not enacting the #CROWNAct , our state legislature sent a clear message that it’s OK in #WestVirginia to discriminate against someone because of her or his hair style. #Shameful

Since I was a little girl, my head has been more than a notion. It is too much, takes 4eva to comb out and it grows w just water(like weeds) but #mycrown is beautiful and my hair journey, the people and life this 👑 has experienced is worth it! #MyCrownforCS #CROWNact
