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.

A chuddish coworker of mine tried to spin this scenario on me like "Imagine you were suspended for having green hair. What would you expect to happen?"

I told him I'd expect my fellow students to stage a walkout in my honor and if that fails, to burn the school down, because it's clearly not a serious institution if it's banning students from an education on the basis of superficial things like a student's hair.
