2) Dress codes at both work & school have long upheld discriminatory practices. One teacher was so “offended” by a mixed faced girls hair she cut it ALL off without the parents permission! Again I’m not making this up!

3) Black bodies are CONSTANTLY policed yes by the police but even “ordinary citizens” who DECIDE we must assimilate to what THEY think is acceptable! Take this referee who forced a CHILD in high school to either cut his dreads or forfeit the match.

BREAKING: LDF won a major #naturalhair discrimination VICTORY that gives K.B., Black high school student & cousin to #DeAndreArnold, the right to attend classes regularly as opposed to being held in indefinite in-school suspension due to his natural hair.

This victory comes after a three-day long virtual preliminary injunction hearing, and decades upon decades of LDF cases seeking to undo discriminatory, anti-Black dress and grooming policies.
The practice of institutionalizing discriminatory grooming policies dates back to desegregation. LDF’s “Status of School Desegregation” report from 1970 describes some of the policies that were implemented as Black students began attending formerly all-white schools.
good morning, especially to any other black women and men who are not fully confident in/comfortable with their natural hair. i see you working on yourself, too 🖤
lupus and genetics = my hair is thin+probably weak. i still dk what im doing but she still grows
i don't need compliments.. just full #selflove which is still in progress
PS no, i won't wear my hair on TV. too much work and it needs protective styling+care vs manipulation 🤷🏾♀️

if you're natural - or have been natural for years, like me - and still are working to fall in love with your kinks/coils/curls (and the process that goes along with it), that's OKAY.
#SelfLove is hard. Take your time.

Even before COVID-19 transformed graduation ceremonies, De'Andre Arnold was excluded from walking in his high school graduation because of his #naturalhair.
A celebration of 4 years of achievement was stripped from him just because of his dreadlocks.

Natural hair discrimination is simply racial discrimination under another name--and it cannot stand. That's why LDF pushes fervently for the #CROWNact.
Recently, De'Andre checked in with @FOX26Houston to discuss hair inclusion & empowerment.

1/ BREAKING: Simply stated, natural hair discrimination is racial discrimination. Last month, news surfaced that TX high school senior De’Andre Arnold was barred from walking at his graduation by Barbers Hill Independent School due to his dreadlocks.

2/ From schools & salons to jobs & airports, racial bias is often distilled into policies that disproportionately target Black people. These policies limit Black mobility by forcing individuals to decide whether or not compliance is worth sacrificing a part of their identity.
3/The fight against #naturalhair bias isn't new to LDF. Last June, Assoc. Director-Counsel @JNelsonLDF delivered testimony before the House addressing @TSA body scanners&policies that disproportionately subject Black women to addt’l screenings at airports. bit.ly/36X7XMR
