Discrimination at Texas high school: Black student punished for wearing locs

TL;DR Summary
A Texas high school has sent a Black student back to in-school suspension for refusing to change his hairstyle, which the school claims violates their dress code policy. The student's family argues that the punishment violates the CROWN Act, a law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination. The school district has filed a lawsuit to clarify whether their dress code restrictions violate the CROWN Act, while the student's family has filed a complaint and a federal civil rights lawsuit. State Representative Ron Reynolds plans to file an amendment to the law to address length restrictions.
