Isn't the rule about hair not going past eyebrows or ear lobes? Every picture I've seen of this dude meets that requirement. I really don't understand the reasoning behind the violation?
There is no reasoning. It's just white conservatives triggered by black man.
*boy
Oy.... this was an innocent correction, right? Right?
The school's reasoning is "well if he ever took them down he'd be in violation, so he's in violation regardless".
Yeah I think the reasoning is that they're not allowed to have hair that, if let down, would be lower than their eyebrows/earlobes. You're not allowed to have long hair and put it up. Very stupid.
Schools in the US can regulate students hairstyle?! Wtf?
Yay small government?
Maybe in Texas.
We'll see how the lawsuit plays out
So can schools in the UK and Japan from what I understand. It's not uncommon. At the end of the day, school is there to prepare you for work and if an employer has a dress code in the contract you sign shouting "racist" at them isn't going to help.
Yea, both the UK and Japan are pretty fucked, I would not take policy from there. I have yet know of a job with a dress code other than fast food places or cooking also if your contract tried to define hair length or style anywhere it would most likely be void anyways.
Meh. A lot of offices require "business casual", but that is getting relaxed all over too due to the break from workwear during the pandemic. It is common sense at this point. I am glad I haven't had to stress over corporate dress code for a few years now. I felt like I was in highschool agonizing if someone would freak out over a sleeveless shirt or if stretchy black jeans would get called out.
As for uniforms proper, I have seen a tiny bit in the trades, mechanics, etc with jumpsuits or shirts. I just think of it as provided safety gear and clothes that can get dirty without destroying your own.
After working in an industry for over a decade where I had to wear safety vests, shoes, and hardhats, I got over how I looked. The number of idiots that would complain about having to wear a bright safety vest because they didn't look fashionable was ridiculous, and that included me right at first. I at least never refused to do something I was being paid and expected to do because I would get my precious work clothes and bright pink safety "vest" dirty.
ADHD rambling aside, but as long as the clothes are not uncomfortable, sexist, and restrictions are loosened during extreme weather, I will wear whatever within reason. My hair though? Fuck you it is my body and I will do what I want with it, barring having to pull it back at a job site for safety reasons.
The pandemic has permanently changed my perception of dress codes. All of us worked perfectly fine in hoodies and shorts. Because of not needing to dedicate time in the morning to my appearance, I can sleep in a bit and be better rested too. I'm happier and more effective.
So naturally the old executive guard disagrees at large corporations, but we'll see if that lasts.
