"Black Student's Hairstyle Leads to Suspension and Transfer to Alternative Education Program"

A Black student in Texas, Darryl George, who was suspended for his dreadlocks, will be sent to an alternative education program after violating his high school's dress code. The school district prohibits male students from having hair below certain lengths, but George's family argues that his hairstyle does not violate the dress code. They have filed a complaint and a civil rights lawsuit, alleging that the suspension violates the state's CROWN Act, which prohibits hair discrimination. This is not the first time the school district has faced controversy over its hair policy, as two other Black male students were previously told to cut their dreadlocks.
