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.

Whitesboro should have been the name of the KKK town

Yeah, that’s what I was going for there. I did miss the pun, so it wasn’t communicated quite so well as I hoped. It’s a great example because it’s an actually rural former sundown town, and it has a name very fitting for that, even if unintentionally.
