"Trial Set for Texas School's Punishment of Black Student Over Hairstyle"
TL;DR Summary
A Black high school student in Texas is facing punishment for wearing dreadlocks, which his family argues is protected by the new state law prohibiting race-based hair discrimination. The school district claims his hairstyle violates the dress code, but the student and his family are challenging this in court. A trial has been set to determine whether the district's dress code restrictions violate the CROWN Act. The student's family has also filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the school district, Governor, and Attorney General, alleging failure to enforce the CROWN Act.
