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.

      Agreed! It looks really good. The fact he was suspended for this is an absolute disgrace by that district.

        That’s my biggest issue here, beyond racism, what right does a public school have to tell a student what they can do with their body? This was meant for the other comment

      Not only is his hairstyle beautiful, it suits his face extremely well. If I were his mother I would fight them all to let him keep it as it is (or move to a better disrict, if I had the means)
