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.

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.

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.

J-dawg is always hanging around.

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”?
