Texas Hair Trial: Battle Over School Hair Policies and the CROWN Act
TL;DR
The trial begins to determine if the Texas school district's dress code, which restricts the length of male students' natural hair, violates the state's CROWN Act. Darryl George, a teen suspended for his locs hairstyle, and his family argue that the CROWN Act prohibits such policies. The district's superintendent looks forward to the issue being legally resolved, while George and his family express hope for justice and criticize the ongoing battle for cultural acceptance.
