"Protesters Rally Ahead of Texas Hair Discrimination Trial"

Protesters gathered near the home of a Texas school district superintendent to support a Black teen who has been suspended for most of the school year over the length of his dreadlocks. The teen, Darryl George, and his family have refused to cut his hair, leading to a legal battle with the school district. The protesters chanted "Justice for Darryl George" and carried signs in support of natural hairstyles, while the district argues that the state's CROWN Act does not address hair length. The case is set to go to trial, with activists and hairstylists advocating for the right to wear natural hairstyles without discrimination.
