Massachusetts close to banning natural hair discrimination

July 19, 2022

It may soon be illegal in Massachusetts to discriminate against someone based on their hair texture or style.

The Massachusetts state Senate and House on Monday enacted a bill that would protect people with natural hairstyles — including braids, locks, twists and other protective styles — against discrimination in many settings. The bill now goes to Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.

This bill is a slightly different version of bills both chambers passed in the spring. The Senate wanted to extend discrimination protections to religious schools and private school athletes, but the final bill does not apply to those institutions.

All life nowadays is like walking through an inescapable moss grove, or jumping up and down to peep above endless corn rows.
