ACLU of Texas: 51 school districts not following state law banning hairstyle discrimination
The ACLU of Texas said Wednesday that 51 Lone Star State school districts are violating the Texas CROWN Act, which bans race-based hair discrimination. The civil-rights group sent letters to each of the districts warning that they're breaking the law by refusing to comply. The Texas CROWN Act, passed in May 2023 with overwhelming support in the state legislature, bans schools, workplaces and housing authorities from discriminating against hairstyles historically associated with race, including cornrows, dreadlocks, afros or braids.
