'Everyone was coming up to me. It was like the talk of the school that day and the day after,' said seventh grader Juelz Trice of Pearland, Texas.
A school district just south of Houston, Texas has placed an administrator on leave after allegedly using a black marker to fill in a child’s buzz cut pattern.
Trice told ABC13 in Houston that the administrator gave him two options: color in the hair carving or go to in-school suspension . The dress code in the Pearland Independent School District states: “Hair must be neat, clean and well groomed. Extreme hair styles such as carvings, mohawks, spikes, etc. are not allowed.”
Erica Simons, the ABC13 reporter who interviewed Trice and his parents said, “Juelz Trice’s parents have received an apology for his head being drawn on, but they’re not sure if it’s good enough. They raised Juelz to be respectful and comply with adults, which is why he didn’t resist.”
