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.
You’re right, of course, but I was referring to the times when such attitudes were considered somewhat acceptable in some places, not the unfortunate fact that they’ve endured.
Those attitudes are definitely considered acceptable in more places than you may think. We’ve made substantial progress from wide acceptance of “these groups aren’t really people” bullshit, but not nearly as much as we really should have.
