Whole Foods has won a case regarding its prohibition of employees wearing apparel supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. A federal administrative judge ruled that the grocery chain did not violate labor rights when it disciplined employees for wearing masks, pins, and accessories with the "Black Lives Matter" slogan, stating that it was not connected to their employment or working conditions. The employees have the option to appeal the decision to the labor board. This is the latest ruling in favor of Whole Foods against employees who claimed retaliation for supporting Black Lives Matter.
A Black high school student in Texas, Darryl George, has been suspended once again for his natural hairstyle, which the school claims violates their dress code policy. Darryl had previously been suspended for over a month and was recently allowed to return to regular classes before being suspended again for refusing to cut his locs. His family is fighting against the school's racial discrimination agenda and is working with lawmakers to amend the vague language in the dress code policy. Darryl's suspension raises questions about the legality of punishing students for their natural hair and the extent of protections provided by the state's CROWN Act, which bans race-based hair discrimination.
An Arizona father, Ira Latham, stripped down to a crop top and short shorts at a school board meeting to protest a proposed dress code that would allow tank tops and midriff exposure.

A Canadian trans teacher, Kayla Lemieux, who wore massive prosthetic Z-cup breasts to class, was confronted by a reporter after being seen in public not wearing the large prosthetics. Lemieux has claimed to be suffering from a rare condition called "gigantomastia," during which one's breasts become excessively large. The Halton District School Board has reportedly put Lemieux on leave after being criticized by parents, students, and activist groups for wearing tight-fitting clothing in class that showed off the prosthetic breasts.
