SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Wednesday a bill making California the first state to ban workplace and school discrimination against black people for wearing hairstyles such as braids, twists and locks.

The law by Democratic Sen. Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles, a black woman who wears her hair in locks, makes California the first state to explicitly say that those hairstyles are associated with race and therefore protected against discrimination in the workplace and in schools.

“We are changing the course of history, hopefully, across this country by acknowledging that what has been defined as professional hair styles and attire in the work place has historically been based on a Euro-centric model — based on straight hair,” Mitchell said.

On the bright side, the Hollywood elite can no longer make fun of Donald Trump’s hair. Right?

It’s hard but you can train yourself to read a resume and 99 times out of a hundred put it down just by certain facts jumping off the page at you that of course we can’t discuss here in this forum.

That said, I’ve always been under a hundred on employees at any one time so I have never got much attention from disgruntled folks...…….thankfully.

Around here, employer’s are desperate at the moment. Not very many good resumes coming in the door.
