Arizona governor signs executive order banning discrimination based on hair style or texture https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/032123_hobbs_crown_act/arizona-governor-signs-executive-order-banning-discrimination-based-hair-style-or-texture/
An executive order issued by Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs Friday prohibits hair-based discrimination against state employees and contractors in the workplace and public schools. The order was inspired by the CROWN Act, which was enacted by Tucson and Tempe in 2021.

@mral Yes indeed; that's in the news report.
While I do support this law, it would have been nice if the governor could have stopped at "banning discrimination" with no futher qualifiers.
The fact that you even NEED a separate law covering hair styles says quite a bit about humanity, doesn't it?
@TucsonSentinel just to help folks understand, #CROWN is an acronym; Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.
