"Texas Student's Locs Hairstyle Leads to Double Suspension"

A Black Texas high school student, Darryl George, who was previously disciplined for the length of his locs hairstyle, returned to class only to be suspended again for refusing to cut his hair to comply with a dress code policy his family deems discriminatory. The school claims his hair violates the dress code, while the family argues it is in compliance and protected by the Texas CROWN Act, which prohibits discrimination based on hairstyles associated with race. George's mother expressed concern about the impact on his education, while a state representative plans to propose changes to expand protections under the law.
