A Black student was suspended for his hairstyle. The school says it wasn’t discrimination
The same week his state outlawed racial discrimination based on hairstyles, a Black high school student in Texas was suspended because school officials say his dreadlocks violated the district’s dress code.
The same week his state outlawed racial discrimination based on hairstyles, a Black high school student in Texas was suspended because school officials said his locs violated the district’s dress code.
Darryl George, a junior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, received an in-school suspension after he was told his hair fell below his eyebrows and ear lobes. George, 17, wears his hair in thick twisted dreadlocks, tied on top of his head, said his mother, Darresha George.
George served the suspension last week. His mother said he plans to return to the Houston-area school Monday, wearing his dreadlocks in a ponytail, even if he is required to attend an alternative school as a result.

Seems like Iran is the role model for many Americans. Land of the free is nothing but a sad joke. 🤥
Remember the country was started by a bunch of religious crazies that were being perse- I mean, properly called out for their insanity back in Europe. So they decided to come here and commit theft, rape, and genocide, so they could abuse their families without those pesky others telling them it was wrong.

I'm pretty sure Europe did the same thing on an even larger scale. Napoleon, Dutch East India Company, the English, Conquistadors, the rape of Africa etc.
Doing it because religion is somehow worse than doing it because of greed?
Yes. Greed is at least real. Edit: Also, doing it for religion is cowardice: you’re just shifting the responsibility away from you & onto god. The greedy are at least sane & lucid for their atrocities.
I think there was a hunger situation too, but yes there were a good deal religious fanatics from the start.

I may be dense, but I don't get it?
It's referring to that meme with the astronauts.
In this case, one would be in the background, in front of the earth saying "Both of these religions are controlling and toxic".
The second astronaut would be in the foreground, with his gun aimed towards the first astronaut, saying "Always have been".
I think it's a meme from a movie.
The point is that religious zealots have always been bad like this, but the commenter put that into a meme.
Thank you. 😀
American conservatives have always been jealous of Iran for living the life they want: a crushing theocratic regime who punishes everyone except for an elite clique.
Yes they love authoritarian bullshit, that's why so many of them are also borderline if not full fledged fascists.
Only in an unfree society does the concept of freedom become a religion.
Absolutely, here (Denmark) we don't have guns, and even knives are illegal. But IMO we have more freedom than Americans.
Would love if my son was free to go to school without fear of school shootings.
That I can understand, all the people who deny you and your children that, I simply cannot.
