We know that Black students do not misbehave more than white students, yet in the Pinellas County School District, there were nearly twice as many arrests of Black students than white students in the 2019-2020 school year. https://t.co/OwvDeGQeMq

No one should be deprived of opportunities because they choose not to alter their natural hair texture. @thecrownact

[Legal Defense Fund @NAACP_LDF]

Today, Policy Director @lcylarbarrett and our client #DeAndreArnold will give testimony in the Texas House of Representatives on the need to pass the #CROWNAct. Natural hair discrimination is racial discrimination--and we can't allow that to stand. https://t.co/b61TiMGxKI
