Texas Judge Upholds School District's Hair Policy in CROWN Act Lawsuit
A Texas judge ruled that the Barbers Hill Independent School District can punish a Black student for wearing long locs, despite the Texas CROWN Act's protection of such hairstyles. The student, Darryl George, has been in in-school suspension since August for his hairstyle, which the district argues violates its policy against male hairstyles extending beyond certain lengths. The ruling has sparked emotional reactions and raised questions about the interpretation of the CROWN Act and its legislative intent.
