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.
The actual dress code written in the article is:
It’s basically “no long hair, regardless of how it is styled.”
Not quite. He is not really wearing a style that would allow the hair to extend below the collar, brows, or lobes because he can’t just take out his hair style. Its not a pony tail to be removed and distract all the boys like in the movies, its been documented to be in place for at least 8 days. And even if he did his hair could stick straight out or stright up. Seems like the dress code was written for white people hair and instead of using any sort of common sense to not enforce or even just change the code the school is doubling down on murky rules in the national eye. If it walks like a racist, talks like a racist, and deprives black people of an education because of their hair its probably a racist.
We need to start living by the “see a racist/Nazi, punch a racist/Nazi” standard.
So, no male Sihk students are allowed, unless there’s a religious exemption.
You think this backwater bunch of racists gives a fuck about religions that aren’t their particular flavor of Christian?

You know, I was coming in here to make a joke about how when the article says
they would say that “any time” also applies when he takes a shower at home, but the code literally says that. Yikes.
That’s such fucking bullshit. Might as well demand a buzzcut and be done with it.
