AUSTIN (KXAN) — A bill intended to end the discrimination of hairstyles associated with race was signed into law Sunday by Gov. Greg Abbott.

House Bill 567, better known as the CROWN Act, cleared its final hurdle on May 12 after it was passed by the Texas Senate 29-1. It was sent to Abbott’s desk on May 16 and he made it law with his signature on Sunday. It goes into effect on Sept. 1. It passed the Texas House 143-5 on April 12.

The CROWN Act is an acronym for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, and it prohibits school districts, colleges or universities, employers or labor unions to discriminate against any protected hairstyle as part of a dress code. In the bill, protected hairstyles are “braids, locks or twists.”

How would you know that?

Hit it with a stick a few times to see if anything jumps out.

This is just another method of discouraging whites from going into business on a large scale.

Trump’s travails are meant to discourage rich white men from going into big league politics.

Wait until one of these disgusting heads of dreadlocks gets caught in any kind of machinery & the scalp is gone.

DO EMPLOYERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANY KIND OF DRESS STANDARDS???

Why didn’t Abbott just let it become law without sign ing? or better yet ,veto it ?

Someone needs to tell the immature “NO!”

So the legislature had nothing more important to do this session? Oh yeah, they did take time to impeach the AG.
