Darryl George was kept out of his regular classes for most of the 2023-2024 school year at Barbers Hill High School. The school said his dreadlocks fell below his eyebrows and ear lobes and violated the district’s dress code.

A trial is set to be held Thursday, Feb.
On Tuesday, a federal judge dismissed most of the claims in the lawsuit against the district. The judge dismissed claims that George’s due process rights under the 14th Amendment were being violated. He also dropped Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, the district superintendent and other school employees from the case.
“They have to prove that girls and boys learned differently, that there’s a reason that you would allow a girl to have long hair and not allow a man to have long hair,” said George’s attorney Allie Booker.
