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.
I got suspended once for wearing a shirt with an anatomical drawing of a human skull on it. Like annotated and shit. I got sent to the principal multiple times for wearing simple eyeliner. They would literally force us to shave our faces with shitty disposable razors in a school bathroom if we had stubble. I’ve been able to grow a full beard since freshman year. I was more of a distraction covered in little cuts and nicks that my fucking stubble ever was. And this was over 11 years ago. I’m sure shit has only gotten worse in the little country towns in Texas. I have zero respect for any authorities figures. The only thing this kinda bullshit teaches you is to hate those with a modicum of power and to wish for the collapse of society.
