A federal judge has not issued an immediate ruling after hearing legal arguments over whether to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a Black high school student in Texas over his hairstyle
A federal judge did not issue an immediate ruling on Thursday after hearing legal arguments over whether to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a Black high school student who has alleged racial and gender discrimination over his monthslong punishment by his Texas school district for refusing to change his hairstyle. Darryl George, 18, has not been in his regular Houston-area high school classes since Aug. 31 because the district, Barbers Hill, says the length of his hair violates its dress code.
Booker also argued the school district didn’t have clearly defined policies on why girls could be allowed to have long hair but boys could not. Brown asked if there was any case law that indicated hair length is protected as expressive conduct under the First Amendment.
