    Race-based hair discrimination is another form of racial discrimination. It should be illegal to discriminate against someone based on their hair style or head covering.

    Seems straightforward and important to eliminate this type of discrimination.

    I just read Lunia Oriol's comment and fully agree. Please add language prohibiting discrimination based on choice of hairstyle or head covering due to religious beliefs.

    This is refreshing to see and I generally support this. That said, I find it equally important to include language that protects against religious discrimination based on hairstyle or protective headwear. As I read Non Discrimination Ord - Chapter 112.pdf, I find no language that prohibits religious-based hair discrimination.
