Federal judge denies Texas student's request to rejoin school without punishment for hairstyle, upholds gender discrimination claim in lawsuit.
A federal judge has denied Darryl George, a Black high school student in Texas, a request to return to his school without the risk of punishment for his hairstyle.

His lawsuit, alleging racial and gender discrimination, will proceed, but only the gender discrimination claim remains. The judge ruled George's request was filed too late.
