School Suspends Black Student for Hairstyle, Denies Discrimination

A Black high school student in Texas was suspended for violating the school district's dress code with his dreadlocks, despite the recent enactment of the state's CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination. The student's family argues that his hairstyle has cultural and religious significance, while the school defends its dress code as a means of teaching discipline and respect for authority. The incident highlights ongoing debates over hair discrimination in schools and workplaces, and the family plans to continue fighting against the school's restrictive policies.
