"Black Texas Teen Darryl George Prepares for CROWN Act Trial"

A Texas school district is facing a trial over its punishment of a Black teen for refusing to change his dreadlocks, which the district claims violates its dress code. The teen's family argues that the punishment violates the state's CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination. The trial, scheduled for Thursday, will determine whether the district's policy is in violation of the law. This is not the first time the district has faced controversy over its hair policies, and the family is hopeful for a positive outcome that will allow the teen to return to school without facing discrimination.
