I admit. I saw the headline and got excited:
DENVER (KDVR) — A measure to ban hair discrimination by employers has passed the Colorado House of Representatives.
The CROWN Act is a nationwide movement to stop employers from telling employees their natural hair isn’t appropriate for the workplace.
The bill does not apply to hair color but rather to styles.
