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.

Darryl George must be living in North Korea. He must have the Kim hairstyle otherwise he can’t go to school. DPRK bad.

For real, I don’t know how anyone can claim USians are living in the most free country in the world.

I guess “at any time” includes when showering and washing their hair at home.

It’s hard to believe they still suspend kids for nondisruptive hairstyles. This rule is a relic of old school homophobia.

How is this not flying in the face of the CROWN act which literally just went into effect before the second time he was suspended? Are they hoping to challenge that law or are they just hoping they get away with it? Or are they stupid and haven’t been advised yet?

They argue it doesn’t cover hair length

Wow, that’s beyond a bad faith argument as you can’t get those hairstyles unless your hair is a certain length. I hope they lose hard.
