March 1 (UPI) -- House Democrats have failed to pass legislation to
ban discrimination against people with hairstyles that are commonly
associated with a particular race or national origin.
The lawmakers on Monday voted 235-188 in favor of the Creating a
Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act, but it did not
attract enough Republican votes to secure the super-majority needed
to approve the legislation upon the fast-track route the Democrats
had put it on.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Bonnie Coleman, D-N.J., would
specifically prohibit discrimination against those participating in
federally assisted programs, including housing, public
accommodations and employment, based on the texture of one's hair or
hairstyle.
Coleman in a statement following the vote accused Republicans of
succumbing to the climate of division and obstruction by not passing
the CROWN Act on the final day of Black History Month.
What a stupid bill.
