Long hair is part of a religion now?
It's part of their cultural heritage, identity, and spirituality, similar to the beards of Sikh men or the hair of a Rastafarian. There is a clear historical record of this marginalized group being forced to literally cut away a connection to their heritage and a continuation of those abhorrent practices even after court decisions and laws have said it's not okay.
That doesn't sound very nice at all!
I tell you what hair is not, it's not the property of a goddamn authority.
You should work on your reading comprehension.
What are we supposed to be comprehending here I’ve got a slight headache
That it says "freedom of expression AND religion" which does not mean only religion but also general freedom of expression. So not everything covered here needs to be religious.
