Judge sets trial date in CROWN Act dispute between Black student Darryl George and Barbers Hill ISD – Houston Public Media
Arguments will be heard Feb. 22 about whether the Houston-area school district is violating a new Texas law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination. Darryl George, an 18-year-old Barbers Hill High School student, has faced disciplinary actions all school year because he wears his hair in dreadlocks and is allegedly violating the district's hair-length policy for male students.
