Efforts to pass legislation making it a federal crime to discriminate on the basis of hair styles or texture — introduced after a New Jersey high school student was told he could not wrestle with locs — failed in the U.S. Senate Wednesday.

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, the measure’s chief Senate sponsor, had sought unanimous approval to clear the House-passed bill and send it to President Joe Biden for his signature. But U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., blocked it.

PAYWALLed but Rand usually does this when they try and make new stuff a federal crime.

Thank you, Rand!

Just another ‘kink’ that needs to be removed from our society, eh?

Oh the irony.

Bald man Cory Booker tries to make laws against discriminating against those who have hair.

Cory Booker needs to get a toupee--so that his wife/partner can know which end of him is on the pillow.

Texture? Um, what’s next, color? You know they won’t stop until all of us blond haired blue eyed Americans of Nordic decent are locked up in the DC gulag.

That’s a dumb proposal.
Some of these so called “Loc” or Dredlock styles look like an unkempt, unwashed, tangled mess. No. Not appropriate for work.

It's already state law in California. And in New York, New Jersey, Washington, Maryland, Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, and Illinois.

I'm guessing it's the CROWN Act because a certain people are all descended from Kings and Queens, and their hair is their Crown.

Interesting.

All of those states are renowned for rigged "elections".
