A mom's lawsuit against her son's former school is calling attention to a loophole in new laws banning discrimination against natural hairstyles.
A mother’s lawsuit against a school she says refused to let her 9-year-old son wear braids is raising concerns that laws banning discrimination against natural hairstyles are not being applied to Catholic schools.
“For much of our nation's history, people of color — particularly women — have been marginalized and discriminated against simply because of their hairstyle or texture," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement about the legislation."By signing this bill into law, we are taking an important step toward correcting that history and ensuring people of color are protected from all forms of discrimination.
He adds that he is awaiting a response from the school and diocese. And while a spokesman for the Brooklyn Diocese, which also represents Queens, told the Daily News that the superintendent has “requested that all of our academies and schools closely examine their hair policy,” there’s concern that schools with religious affiliations may bypass bans that are considered discriminatory elsewhere.
