Judge Upholds Texas School District's Hair Length Policies in CROWN Act Lawsuit

A judge ruled that the punishment faced by a Black high school student in Texas for his dreadlocks does not violate the state's CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination. The student has been banned from regular classes and faces in-school suspension due to the length of his dreadlocks, which the school claims violates their dress code. The family filed a federal lawsuit against the governor and attorney general for allegedly not enforcing the CROWN Act, alleging improper discipline and abrogation of constitutional and state rights.

"Disciplinary Action Taken Against Black Student for Hairstyle Sparks Controversy"

A Black student in Texas, Darryl George, who has been serving an in-school suspension over his dreadlocks, will now be sent to an alternative education program after being deemed in violation of the school's dress code. The school district's dress code prohibits male students from having hair below certain lengths, but George's family argues that his hairstyle does not violate the code and has filed a complaint and a civil rights lawsuit. The family claims that the suspension and subsequent discipline violate the state's CROWN Act, which aims to prohibit race-based 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.
