If hair braiding isn’t taught in many beauty schools, why does the government force black women to go (and pay thousands) to get a cosmetology license? What’s worse is not doing so could result in a $10,000 fine and a year in prison. Since the 1990s, the Institute for Justice has been fighting for hair braiders — and a new legal showdown in Iowa could be their biggest yet.

“Of Iowa’s 27 cosmetology schools, not one school offers specific coursework on natural hair care for black women or braiding in particular.”
Update, they won:
Braiders in Iowa no longer need to get a cosmetology license to plait customers’ hair. Thanks to two Black women who brought a lawsuit again
Braiders in Iowa no longer need to get a cosmetology license to plait customers’ hair. Thanks to two Black women who brought a lawsuit against the state with a non-profit public interest law firm, stylists who practice unlicensed braiding will not face jail time. Aicheria Bell and Achan Agit filed and won a civil suit against the midwestern state with the Institute for Justice.
A law enacted July 1 made braiders exempt from Iowa’s cosmetology licensing laws. Before then, anyone who braided hair without taking 2,100 hours of courses at a cosmetics school – which can cost at least $20,000 – to obtain a license could be subjected to a misdemeanor charge. The citation was punishable by up to one year in prison. Now, braiders will simply need to register with the state.
In my astrophysics classes we mentioned the TMT & I offhandedly asked my professor how pivotal that is to current astronomical research
He said something to the effect of "it'd be really cool but there are other projects that would probably supersede it within a decade or two"
That's whats at stake for Western science - a nifty addition expected to be at parity with projects already underway within one lifetime
As opposed to thousands of years of traditions & a fight against hundreds of years of colonization
This is the first post I’ve seen which clarifies not just why the Hawaiians are protesting (and they fuckin’ should be!) but also what the impact of their *success* would be on astronomy.
There are a lot of people who feel that expanding our knowledge of the universe and grasping those essential truths is very, very valuable, and would personally value that over even their own traditions and spirituality. I was one of those people when I was younger, until I grew up and realized that ‘important’ and ‘important to me’ are not always the same thing.
But this is not that situation. This is the astronomy equivalent of building a second starbucks five blocks closer than the existing one so you can save time on your morning commute. There will be another starbucks regardless. It doesn’t need to be here.

12th House, Con: Mental Illness in some form (either having some yourself or being close to those who do), often picks up too well on others emotions yet is oblivious to intentions.
