A Black Texas high school student who was suspended because his loc hairstyle violated the district’s dress code was suspended again upon his return to school Monday, an attorney for the family told CNN.

Darryl George has been suspended for more than two weeks because his loc hairstyle violates the Barbers Hill Independent School District dress and grooming code, according to his family.

The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.

i just left texas and it blows my mind when people willingly move there

Blows my mind as well. If I may ask, where did you move to? I'm hoping to move to Shanghai one day.

Unless you're moving from like Somalia or Ukraine or something and aren't legally or financially able to move anywhere else, I can't reasonably understand why someone would move to Texas.

A lot of people move there because they believe Texas is a conservative state, and they want to live in a more conservative state.

It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Texas-born Texans average more liberal than the transplants, and it's because of this self-sorting phenomenon.
