Black Texas student given additional suspension for loc hairstyle

Jump

  • The dress codes even in the district my kid is in (and we're definitely bright blue territory) is still sexist af. It's absolutely insane.

  • Why do male and female students have different dress codes?

    Sexism.

    And yes I'm fucking up to here with this authoritarian bullshit not to mention the bigotry.

  • ... Darryl was suspended the same week the state’s CROWN Act, a law prohibiting discrimination based on one’s hair texture or protective hairstyle such as locs and braids, went into effect.

    This is what systemic racism looks like in real life.

  • I understand where you are coming from. Edit: I mean with regards to why you're asking for the proof as you did.

    If you don't mind indulging my question...

    believes in such things as "policies" as existing outside of the material existence of the actions, which is a super liberal viewpoint and which communists need to learn to rebut

    I found this interesting.

    Can you expound on the connection between "liberal viewpoint" and this idea of "policies being relevant despite evidence of actual actions to the contrary" (my summary).

    I guess I'm trying to understand what makes this a liberal viewpoint or why do you classify it as such? Or is it a consequence of the undue trust given to governments with said policies?

    I guess I am just trying to understand the viewpoints of my communist fellow humans here on Lemmy.

    In my mind, I call their viewpoint naive and what I would term de facto policy is something that comes from observation and accompanying cynicism. Maybe that's an engineering viewpoint or more likely a viewpoint a typical infosec person like me holds lol. It's just looking at how the world is and believing actions > words...

    In other words I don't ascribe my viewpoint or theirs to a political ideology. Though I could see how some ideologies might tend to influence such viewpoints. Does that make sense?

  • Rather than calling out their hypocrisy I like to just call them out for what they actually believe. When they say "law and order" it is a dogwhistle. And they don't believe in egalitarianism when it comes to the law or anything else. Rules for me and not for thee because they believe they exist higher up in a socioeconomic "hierarchy". So they don't deserve to go to jail for public display of sex but the "others" they perceived as below them deserve to go to jail for performing a drag show.

  • It might be quicker to show that there is such a policy in place or else a de facto tolerance of it.
