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’m confused how does this not conform to those guidelines?

      “Male students’ hair must not extend below the top of a t-shirt collar or be gathered or worn in a style that would allow the hair to extend below the top of a t-shirt collar, below the eyebrows, or below the ear lobes when let down.”

      Ah, I see now… still they can suck 87 dicks with a dress code like that. “You can’t look how you want when not here either?”. Fuck that.

      Why does a public school even get to dictate what I do with my body. Clothes fine whatever. But hair is my body.
