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.”

Okay. And your point is? In other words, what are you trying to say? What am I missing?
Hung jury. Clean up her hair and let’s retry the case.
Worked with a drummer in a band many years ago(1970’s) who had long hair and worked at a printing company. One day he showed up at rehearsal with a large chunk of hair missing. Roadie says: “Damn! What happened to your hair?”
Drummer says: “It got caught in my press and pulled out”.
Roadies nicknamed him PRESS-HEAD on the spot, called him that from that day forward.
This “act” shows Texas guv has his priorities straight./SARC
No worries. I never go to a fast food place without one these.
I'll defer to the expert.
Pathetically dumb ass law.
Good thinking you could lease it out and have a good side line.
Abbott, what a dickhead. I haven’t seen the slightest move on his part to do important things, pardon that soldier wrongfully convicted, defend Paxton, get those covid laws passed. he didn’t have total power to do those things, but he pretty much doesn’t life a finger.
But a hairstyle act crosses his desk and he leaps into action.
Meanwhile, advertisers all feature Black women with Lice Cut African Hair
“Unbelievable. The invasion of illegals and all of the Demonic/RINO bullcrap that’s going on in the state, and Abbott signs law restricting hairstyles. Where’s the effort to faciltate the pardon for the man who protected himself from the BLM scum? Gutless, ball-less POS...”
Better yet, where is the property tax relief Abbott has promised Texans for almost ten years. Instead, they focus on this stupid woke $hit? Typical politician. Dancing a little side-step all the way (pardon pun).
Discrimination against bald men needs to stop.
“Abbott, what a dickhead.”
Yeah, he rails about the wide-open border, then he rounds up illegals & HELPS Biden by bussing them farther INTO the US.
Sheesh.
That said, he’s a nice man, always the lesser evil, who’ll always get my vote against Beto & his ilk.
Nothing surprises me anymore. 60% of the men in this country look like Neanderthals. Most black women’s hairstyles are bizarro. How do they wash that mess?
The new blue state of Texas is "crowning" and about to be born.
Abbott has never been a strong conservative. He talks a good game during election season, but forgets about it all afterwards.
What a waste of legislature time and money!
True. He slavishly obeyed the COVID dictates to some degree, including shutting down “non-essential” businesses and mandating useless masks in public locations, unlike much more freedom-honoring, conservative governors like DeSantis. Abbott merely aped the gestures of true conservative leaders months after they lead the way.
