A Black Texas high school student who was suspended because his loc hairstyle violated the district’s dress code was suspended again upon his return to school Monday, an attorney for the family told CNN.
Darryl George has been suspended for more than two weeks because his loc hairstyle violates the Barbers Hill Independent School District dress and grooming code, according to his family.
The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.
I’m amazed at the lengths some people will go to for such trivial things. I’m not surprised at all that a school had an old rule, or that they’ve been called out on it. But to try to bypass laws to enforce such a, let’s be real, silly rule of no real consequence, is just amazing.
I just can’t put myself in the head of some principal wo believes dress codes are the most important thing in the world. Just fucking back down.
