Texas Judge Upholds School's Suspension of Black Student Over Hairstyle

A Texas judge ruled that a Black high school student's suspension over his hairstyle does not violate the state's new law prohibiting race-based hair discrimination. The student, Darryl George, has been out of his regular classes since August for refusing to change his tied and twisted locs, which the school district says violate its hair length policy. The judge ruled in favor of the school district, stating that its ongoing discipline of George is legal under the CROWN Act. George's family has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the school district, Governor Greg Abbott, and Attorney General Ken Paxton, alleging they failed to enforce the CROWN Act.
