Darryl George, who wears his hair in locs, has been out of his regular high school classes since August because of his school’s dress code. Now, a Texas judge has ruled the school’s punishment does not violate the state’s CROWN Act. George’s attorney said they will appeal.
@CBSMornings Them’s the rules which, by the way, are colorblind.
@CBSMornings @CBSNews Rules are rules regardless of race
@CBSMornings Banned abortions now they want to ban how you wear your hair?
@CBSMornings This kids hair is not red or blue. It’s not unruly. Wtf is the problem?
@CBSMornings @CBSMornings as shared— I personally came up with the idea to outlaw race-based hair discrimination & have led the CROWN Act movement since 2018. I will continue until the need no longer exists. Thank you for lifting the important issue. -The CROWN Act Champion & Scholar
@CBSMornings He keeps his locks tied up to comply with the dress code. In my opinion he shouldn’t have been suspended unless he was blatantly wearing them long. I remember my son was told not to wear his fro because it was too long. We straighten it and it fell past his shoulder but they 1/2
@CBSMornings @CBSNews By their logic I should get a speeding ticket, because my car has the ability to exceed the speed limit, even though I am currently driving under the speed limit.
@CBSMornings Sad, but true. The CROWN Act is not being violated if the school’s concern is the length of his locs. Now, it’s time to update the bylaws of the institution or find a new school of learning. Appealing will do nothing. Are his lawyers new here?
@CBSMornings I will stand with Daryl George and they will appeal soon as possible!
@CBSMornings Please, someone from Texas who knows the situation, explain how this suspension makes any sense.
