A Black Texas high school student who was suspended because his loc hairstyle violated the district’s dress code was suspended again upon his return to school Monday, an attorney for the family told CNN.
Darryl George has been suspended for more than two weeks because his loc hairstyle violates the Barbers Hill Independent School District dress and grooming code, according to his family.
The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.
This particular School District has pulled this stunt so many times that the State of Texas passed a damn law, called the CROWN Act, to make them stop! They’re back it claiming that the CROWN Act doesn’t regulate length or color.
When the Texas legislature and Abbott both think you’ve gone too far right, you’ve catastrophically fucked up on an inhumane level.
At what point do they start firing the people in charge of the school district?
If it’s anything like my state, the board members make that decision and they are elected by the community. So that point is probably far, far away.
Only if they’ve got blue tinges to their politics, otherwise, nah, yer good. Do what you like.
At this point I think that they’re doing this knowing it’ll result in a lawsuit.
I wonder if they’re just fanning the flames to make it look like the government is le 1984 for not letting them have racist policy in their schools.
