A full-page newspaper defends the punishment high school student Darryl George has faced over his hairstyle.
Being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity
Man, these people always out here saying the quiet part out loud these days.
“If you little fuckers would just CONFORM to how we want you to be, this country would be filled with UNITY.”
Yeah, because the only “unity” they want is forcing their conformity on everyone else.
They’ll say this and then various right wing personalities will say shit like ‘the left wants to make everyone the same so everyone is equal’ it’s infuriating
I’m increasingly convinced they think Gilead is portrayed as a reasonable goal.
Unity - the name of a parasitic hive mind that spews vomit down peoples throats to spread itself throughout entire species in the show Rick and Morty.
On brand.
Being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity
Tell that to the Texas power grid.
By conformity he just means what the white people in charge want. Not like conforming to rules or ethical standards or laws or the Constitution.
What a fucking asshole.
Seriously. Texas passes a law, and this guy thinks he can just ignore it?
Ken Paxton is the rancid piss stain left behind whenever abott waddles by.
Still I’m surprised it even became law in Texas at all- which kinda makes this asshole an even bigger asshole.
According to the wording of the ad he took out, his argument is focused on length, not style. He explicitly states that the school allows braids, locs, and rows. Then he argues that the CROWN act is very specific about not applying to length.
This whole thing is really stupid. Length of styling of hair, along with clothing and other personal appearance issues, should be considered speech and protected outside of blatant attempts to disrupt an educational atmosphere. All that said, the school may not be acting in opposition to the letter of the law, even if they definitely are in spirit.
or maybe, just hear me out, the dude should join the rest of us in 2023 instead of 1923. It’s a waste of time, resources and effort. Literally nobody is benefiting from him making an issue out of something that simply does not matter.
And for the record, he’s singling the kid out for being black. I doubt he’d have an issue with a white boy wearing a man bun, or whatever the equivalent would be.
Literal fascist rhetoric. Seriously wtf.
To give you an idea of just how fucking stupid this superintendent is – hair discrimination is illegal by TEXAS law. Fucking Texan Republicans looked at this and said “okay this is way too far”.
Having previously lived in Houston for a few years, let me tell you, Texas Republicans aren’t terribly bright. Being worse than them takes effort.
What’s the point of a law if it’s not only not enforced, but literally ignored by, y’know law enforcement!? Fuck you, Texas. Boycott everything they produce!
Not gonna lie, I thought this was some federal anti discrimination law, not a TEXAS one.
