A Black Texas high school student has been suspended for more than a week because his loc hairstyle violated the district’s dress code, his mother said. It could become a test of a new state law that bans discrimination based on hairstyles.

Excerpt:

Darryl George, a junior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, received multiple disciplinary action notes and was placed on in-school suspension for wearing his locs hairstyle in a ponytail, his mother, Darresha George, told CNN.

She said Darryl was suspended the same week the state’s CROWN Act, a law prohibiting discrimination based on one’s hair texture or protective hairstyle such as locs and braids, went into effect.
