The Skanner News - Texas School Legally Punished Black Student Over Hairstyle, Judge Says

ANAHUAC, Texas (AP) — A judge has ruled that a Black high school student’s monthslong punishment by his Texas school district for refusing to change his hairstyle does not violate a new state law prohibiting race-based hair discrimination. Darryl George hasn’t been in his regular classes at his Houston-area high school since Aug. 31 because his school district says he’s violating its policy limiting the length of boys’ hair. George wears his hair in tied and twisted locs on top of his head, and his attorney says his hairstyle is protected by the CROWN Act. State District Judge Chap Cain III on Thursday ruled in favor of the Barbers Hill school district, which argued its policy doesn’t violate the law.

The Skanner News - Schools Say Dress Codes Promote Discipline. But Many Black Students See Traces of Racism

For as long as schools have policed hairstyles as part of their dress codes, some students have seen the rules as attempts to deny their cultural and religious identities. To school administrators, strict dress codes can be tools for promoting uniformity and discipline. In recent years, schools have faced pressure to reconsider their policies. Nowhere have school rules on hair been a bigger flashpoint than in Texas. A trial this week is set to determine whether school administrators can continue punishing a Black teenager for refusing to cut his hair. The student, Darryl George, wears his hair in locs tied atop his head.
