To give you an idea of just how fucking stupid this superintendent is -- hair discrimination is illegal by TEXAS law. Fucking Texan Republicans looked at this and said "okay this is way too far".
Having previously lived in Houston for a few years, let me tell you, Texas Republicans aren't terribly bright. Being worse than them takes effort.
What's the point of a law if it's not only not enforced, but literally ignored by, y'know law enforcement!? Fuck you, Texas. Boycott everything they produce!
It becomes a tool of oppression and retribution. That's the point. Welcome to fascism.
Because when you pass the law, you have completed political theater and that's what gets reported in the news. The point of the law is to be able to say, "See, Republicans aren't so bad after all." Nobody is following up on it later until a story like this come around.
Not gonna lie, I thought this was some federal anti discrimination law, not a TEXAS one.
It's actually wild.
