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.

    Which world is a plutocracy?

    We’re that one in practice.

    Also, language evolves rapidly, terms change meanings over time often.

    Try getting 100 random people or even college graduates and try to get agreement on the modern meaning and usage of socialism.

    Words and terms evolve, even dictionaries make regular changes to react to already in use changes over time.

    I think the more modern usage is 1st world= developed socioeconomic infrastructure 2nd world = developing nation 3rd world = impoverished/underdeveloped nation.

      Which world is a plutocracy?

      Definitely the capitalist and colonizing “first world” countries, no question. Their wealthy even control Global South countries to a large extent.

      I think the more modern usage is

      If you meant Global North and Global South, just say it. But it’s completely ludicrous to suggest the US is a Global South country, so I suspect you didn’t mean that.
