Black Texas student given additional suspension for loc hairstyle
cnn.com
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.

Is this school stuck in 1959?
What do you want to bet that the code for "female students" is at least three times as long and contains the words "leg skin"?
More like 1859
This rapscallion would be suspended for sure
Pure poppycock!
Ruby Bridges is still alive. MLK Jr would be
7094 if he weren't assassinated. This isn't something that's a relic of the ancient past. It's something we're barely starting to address in the current day.Small correction - MLK Jr would be 94 today. He was born in 1929.
Ah, correct. I was accidentally looking at his marriage year. My mistake.
You’re right, of course, but I was referring to the times when such attitudes were considered somewhat acceptable in some places, not the unfortunate fact that they’ve endured.
Those attitudes are definitely considered acceptable in more places than you may think. We've made substantial progress from wide acceptance of "these groups aren't really people" bullshit, but not nearly as much as we really should have.
Jesus would get suspended.
I mean... he kind of did.
Nailed it
J-dawg is always hanging around.
Yeah, Texas isn't kind to those of us with unique hairstyles.
What is this? The tiny town from Footloose?
They want that All American Good Ol’ Boy Johnny Unitas, not that scandalous hippie ne’er-do-well Joe Namath
