New York City to Ban Discrimination Based on Hair

One more reason to get the hell out of New York
quote:
Under new guidelines to be released this week by the New York City Commission on Human Rights, the targeting of people based on their hair or hairstyle, at work, school or in public spaces, will now be considered racial discrimination.
The change in law applies to anyone in New York City but is aimed at remedying the disparate treatment of black people; the guidelines specifically mention the right of New Yorkers to maintain their “natural hair, treated or untreated hairstyles such as locs, cornrows, twists, braids, Bantu knots, fades, Afros, and/or the right to keep hair in an uncut or untrimmed state.”
In practice, the guidelines give legal recourse to individuals who have been harassed, threatened, punished, demoted or fired because of the texture or style of their hair. The city commission can levy penalties up to $250,000 on defendants that are found in violation of the guidelines and there is no cap on damages. The commission can also force internal policy changes and rehirings at offending institutions.

Thank GOD, it's about time!
This is some important legislation for those tens of people with unusual hair, they can finally work where they're qualified!

People are so weak. They cry b/c someone insults them b/c of their hair?
Nothing says coddling like creating new dumb laws.

Ginger's rejoice in their new found protection against ridicule. Or is this only for minorities?

Another firm step towards communist fascism. NYC is on the fast track!

If you're out of school, especially out of college, you are too old to be wearing your eccentricities on your head.

These are really STUPID people

not gonna lie, it might be fun to make over the top progressive laws in shitholes like NYC. Just to see what I could come up with. The pansexual jellyfish protection advocacy is a passion of mine

So companies can’t require employees to look respectable and professional?
What about people working in restaurant kitchens where having long unkempt hair could pose a health violation?
