Senate Republicans Block Passage of The CROWN Act to Ban Discrimination Against Natural Hair
The law would make it a federal crime to discriminate because a person has Afro-textured hair.
Senate Republicans attempted made certain that a plan to ban discrimination based on hair texture or styles will not become federal law. The legislation would make discrimination against a person because of his or her natural hair a federal crime if that person’s hairstyle or texture is commonly associated with a particular race or national origin..
Sen. Cory Booker led an effort to pass the CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, with unanimous approval in the upper chamber so President Joe Biden could sign it into law.
But following the lead of Sen. Rand Paul, GOP senators blocked the bill from being passed in the Senate.
