Ever since her biracial son Maddox spent nearly 2 weeks in in-school at Troy ISD suspension for his hairstyle last month, Hope Cozart and her family have pushed a conversation about what they call hair discrimination.
âItâs ridiculous if you think about it why are we judging somebody on their natural hair and how they wear it. There are more important things in this world to be dealing with,â said Cozart.
The Family testified in favor of the CROWN Act last month. The bill would ban educational, employment and housing discrimination on the basis of hair texture or style, including braids, locs and twist.
