  • Darryl George is a Junior in a Texas High School that has suspended him for having locs that went below his ears. This took place days after the CROWN Act, a law banning discrimination against hair styles commonly worn by Black students,  took affect in the state.

Moreover, these protective hairstyles are simply proper ways to care for Black people’s hair. Prayerfully, this young man and the many like him in Texas schools will begin to receive the affirming education they deserve.
