House Democrats voted on legislation on Friday that would combat alleged anti-hair discrimination while there remains a war in Ukraine and Americans grapple with soaring inflation and gas prices.
The House passed H.R. 2116, the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act of 2021 (CROWN) Act of 2021, 235-189.
Democrats overwhelmingly supported the legislation, and Republicans opposed the bill.
The legislation would prohibit alleged discrimination on a person’s hair texture or hairstyle that is commonly associated with a particular race or national origin.
House Republican leadership released a whip notice recommending a vote against the bill:
Federal law already prohibits disparate treatment of one individual compared to another based on race, color, or national origin, which includes grooming and appearance policies if applied in a discriminatory manner, rendering this legislation unnecessary and duplicative. • This legislation previous failed under suspension of the rules on February 28th by a vote of 235 – 188.
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-OH) said on the House floor ahead of the vote that Americans already cannot be discriminated against their hairstyle and that Congress should focus on pressing issues such as inflation, Russia, and rising gas prices.

This one quips itself...
Crazy thought for the day. Ukraine is only a “crisis” for America to the extent we decide to make it one.....for us.
Not so hasty. I think what the Senate needs is an extended debate on the merits of this bill. Suspend various tax and spending bills, and various confirmation fights, because it’s vitally important that the Senate is kept busy on such matters until January 2023, when the new Senate can debate serious issues.
New term coming from the left...hairacism.
Utterly unserious waste of time
I realize that I’m repeating myself from a previous post on this topic, but...what if a Mexican chooses to wear his hair really long, in fact never cuts it at all and occasionally pours blood over it until the dried blood forms into a solid mat.
He’d be emulating the Aztec priests, an important part of his proud national heritage. I’m pretty sure he’d be covered by this law since it refers to “...hair texture or hairstyle that is commonly associated with a particular race or national origin”
Beards are coming, with or without a medical profile.
It's called pseudo-folliculitis IIRC. A number of mostly black soldiers were able to grow beards going back at least 40 years, when I was on active duty.
However, I never saw a black officer with a beard.
It's all turning into a big, muddled pile of s$$t.
They love having big distractions so they can push other things though.
That’ll apply to the no-hair Skinhead uniform, right?
I've never know anyone of any of the 57 known genders or hundreds of colors to be sent home from work because of their hair.
(Wonder if Rome was as crazy as this in its last days.)
Dried blood could most likely be called a health hazard and not a protected texture LOL.
So sad that we even have to consider such weird things thanks to Dems.
As someone born blonde.. I claim this. :)
Dried blood could most likely be called a health hazard and not a protected texture LOL.
“Black women are 1.5X more likely to be sent home from work because of their hair.”
The fact that they punched out their co-workers had nothing to do with it!
“AIDs is definitely a health hazard and it’s protected.”
AIDs is a disease transferred by blood or body fluids. Blood, even dried, is a major hazmat concern.
And the Senate found daylight savings time the highest priority the other day. Silly season in both Houses.
Yes, democrats are really concerned about the midterms.....
I gotta admit, some of the cuts black wimmin have are pretty scary. Ya gotta wonder how they don’t fall over or constantly walk in circles.
