Hair and Dress Rules: How Far Can They Go?

Class recorded February 25, 2021.

Many schools, employers, and other organizations enforce rules regarding your personal appearance – rules which have often, historically and into the present, discriminated against Black people. But how far can these rules legally go?

Class covers:

  • What happens when workplace or school appearance rules fail to take into account racial or cultural differences, gender and transgender issues, or religious practices
  • How established law protects against discriminatory dress and grooming codes
  • How the new CROWN Act (SB 188, passed 2019) specifically protects against hair texture and hairstyle discrimination
