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.

Why do male and female students have different dress codes? WTF does the school system care if boys have longer hair? Apart from safety issues like being in a workshop class, why does anyone in the school system think they have the right to control who can and can't have certain hair lengths?
Yo, is anyone else getting really sick of this overreach of power and authority? I'm not referring to the economic and political relations. Those aside, I'm talking about this crap where people are starting to get involved in personal matters of appearance, medicine, gender, and even straight bs crap like a high school band finishing a song. This is getting way out of hand. Our culture is rotting with power and control issues at the expense of individual liberties.
This particular School District has pulled this stunt so many times that the State of Texas passed a damn law, called the CROWN Act, to make them stop! They're back it claiming that the CROWN Act doesn't regulate length or color.
The CROWN Act sailed through the Texas Legislature with strong bi-partisan support and Gov Abbott even held a formal signing ceremony for it. How god damned racist do you have to be that even those people think you've gone too far?
Well it is considered poor form to just put 'NO BLACKS' in the prospectus.
They had to get creative.
I said this in another thread, but this may be unconstitutional based on Bostock v. Clayton County. That was about employment though. You can’t discriminate based on sex. In the case it’s about discriminating against a gay person because “being attracted to women” is allowed for men but not women. So a hairstyle should not be allowed for women and not men. They are discriminating based on sex.
Am I the only one seeing this kid’s picture and thinking he’s the least offensive teenager I’ve seen this week?
Dress code standards for hair and appearance are pretty dumb... but even as they are written in this school district, I don't understand how this kid's hair violates it.
The code says the hair can't extend below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes...and this kid's hair is above his eyebrows and above his ear lobes. I'm looking at the student's front, side, and back photos that are attached to the linked news article. What is the problem?
That's probably the only time I've seen the word "loc" outside of Don't Be A Menace.
Don't really think the school has a leg to stand on here. It's a neat and tidy haircut. It's not something I'd get done, but that's mostly because I'm a mid-40's balding white man.
Suspending someone for having a black haircut is asking for trouble. Even in Texas.
Schools having no fucking clue what to do and suspending kids aside, that they made him sit on a stool for 8 hours is some barbaric shit. Like when teachers wake kids up if they're taking a nap in study hall.
Education, knowledge, and learning are great. Fuck teachers, schools, and administrators. Also fuck these racist pieces of shit especially
The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.
Furthermore, the code demands that none of the students will be listening to those heathen Beatles.
training them for the racist workforce
Grow up Texas
If having a dumb ass haircut in HS is suspension worthy, I'm sure glad that my HS didn't have a similar rule.
Looks like something you'd see in Mario kart LOL at least get some dreads that look good kid
Every time I see this story, I wonder how this kid turned his head into a water elevator.
