TL;DR Summary

A Black high school student in Texas, Darryl George, has been suspended once again for his natural hairstyle, which the school claims violates their dress code policy. Darryl had previously been suspended for over a month and was recently allowed to return to regular classes before being suspended again for refusing to cut his locs. His family is fighting against the school's racial discrimination agenda and is working with lawmakers to amend the vague language in the dress code policy. Darryl's suspension raises questions about the legality of punishing students for their natural hair and the extent of protections provided by the state's CROWN Act, which bans race-based hair discrimination.
