• Darryl George was suspended from his Texas high school over the length of his locs hairstyle.

A Texas school suspended a Black student for his locs hairstyle — an expression of his culture that has family members' hair woven into it. 

Darryl George, a 17-year-old junior at Barbers Hill High School in a suburb of Houston, was first suspended for his traditional locs hairstyle on August 31 — the same week that the state's Crown Act went into effect, a new law prohibiting race-based hair discrimination in schools and workplaces.
