A Black high school student who was suspended over his locs hairstyle and his mother have sued Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the states attorney general for allegedly failing to enforce the states CROWN Act, a law that protects against hair discrimination. Kinda wild that school districts have no power whatsoever to force students to wear masks but when when it comes to regulating hairstyles for black students they have all the power in the world. I wonder what the difference is. --- Who is? I am! ... Copied to Clipboard!

oh yea, I remember seeing this on the news.
they said it was because boys weren't supposed to have their hair grow long enough that went past certain things, like to the shirt collar, but you could see how he wore his hair up so he wasn't breaking any rules. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/enq4r7 ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's surprising that TX even has something like the CROWN Act.
Absolutely not surprising at all that a TX school would discriminate against a minority student based off their hair. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dreads may have religious/cultural significance.

Schools have been overstepping their bounds with regard to dress codes for years. Even ignoring the race, it's extremely problematic that the school district can just decide that because you're a boy you can't have long hair. In high school our football coach tried to make us all cut our hair "for safety" because he lied and said helmets wouldn't fit right but everyone basically refused to do it and he backed down. Still, we had awful policies like no "extreme" hairstyles with no guidance on what that actually meant, so if a kid came to school with a little buzzcut mohawk they could send him to the front office and make him buzz the rest of it off too.
