Haha, no one is gonna pay to use social media. I don’t use Twitter but you would never get me to pay for absolute garbage brain rot. I’m already on lemmy for that and it’s free.
Well in Texas there is something in the books about the legality of hairstyles.
The incident recalls debates over hair discrimination in schools and the workplace and is already testing the state’s newly enacted CROWN Act, which took effect Sept. 1.
The law, an acronym for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” is intended to prohibit race-based hair discrimination and bars employers and schools from penalizing people because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including Afros, braids, dreadlocks, twists or Bantu knots. Texas is one of 24 states that have enacted a version of the CROWN Act
So the school suspending the student because of his hairstyle would be considered illegal under this law.
I feel like I’m missing something in what you’re saying and that law actually makes the school’s actions illegal. The whole point of CROWN acts is that natural hairstyles have been discriminated against.
The school’s dress code / attitude is the ‘old’ version.
Transporting millions of people dozens of miles twice a day OF COURSE has resource costs, in carbon and pollution and energy consumption. This shouldn’t be rocket science. Sadly it is for people who are afraid of change.
It also saves the workers money (as they don’t have to pay for fuel or public transit), it saves the company money (as they don’t have to pay for office space), it saves the environment (as you don’t have pollution from commutes), it reduces traffic (as you don’t have as many commuters at rush hour), and it’s generally good for just about everybody except commercial real estate developers renting out overpriced office buildings and Starbucks that’s paying absurd rents to be in the bottom floor of those overpriced office buildings. And of course middle managers who think that hounding their employees in person somehow accomplishes something.
