ANAHUAC, Texas (AP) — A judge ordered Wednesday that a trial be held next month to determine whether a Black high school student in Texas can continue being punished by his district for refusing to change a hairstyle he and his family say is protected by a new state law.

Darryl George, 18, has not been in his regular classroom in Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu since Aug. 31. Instead, he has either been serving in-school suspension or spending time in an off-site disciplinary program.

His Houston-area school district, Barbers Hill, has said George’s long hair, which he wears in neatly tied and twisted locs on top of his head, violates a district dress code that limits hair length for boys. The district has said other students with locs comply with the length policy.
======================================================
Hard to believe this Black kid is being punished & deprived of an education because of his hair style.

The stars at night...

Conservatives think the perfect moment in history happened when their fathers were children, and they think that if they can just get the laws and enforcement right they can live in that moment forever.

Public high schools can dictate hair length now? They couldn't when I went to school.

This is all about that moolah rikki. If that woman cared as much about her son’s education as she does about his hairstyle then he would have graduated 2 years ago instead of being a 19 year old junior in high school with a mile long disciplinary record for truancy.
