History snip.. essentially in 1786 the Tignon law was passed following complaints that black women had too much luxury in their being.. notably their hair.. from one of the poorest state in America ffs..
Fast forward to dress / appearance code in the UK secondary schools a few years back, limiting hair styles and length for girls in secondary school.. this should be covered in their education about discriminatory laws based on race, culture and heritage..
