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.

    Racial targeting aside, I think there’s a big difference between visible underwear and a hairstyle. It’s not the same conversation

        No. Seeing undergarments could very obviously be construde as indecent. I don’t see how a hairstyle could qualify as the same.

          Someone could style his hair to resemble a Nazi cross for instance.

          But seeing undergarments is arbitrary, because someone making an effort to see them, will be able to see them for many “decent” clothing options. E.g. if a women wears a skirt someone lingering by the staircase could see their underewear, where the voyeuristic behaviour is the problem rather than the clothes.

            Again, No. There is a monumental difference between somebody attempting to view undergarments vs. EVERYONE being able to see them without choice.

            Plus, shaving or braiding a nazi cross isn’t a “hairstyle”. That’s just creating or imprinting a hate sign into your head. You could literally do that with ANY article of clothing. Or any partof your body.
