Texas school district upholds dress code against student's locs; legal case proceeds to Texas Supreme Court.
Darryl George, a Black high school student in Texas, is embroiled in a legal dispute over his hairstyle, which the Barbers Hill Independent School District deems a violation of its dress code. A federal judge denied George's request for a restraining order against punishment for his locs, which he argues are protected under the CROWN Act. George has since left the district and is attending another school, with his case expected to reach the Texas Supreme Court.
