Black Texas Student Seeks Return to School After Hair Policy Suspension

Darryl George requests federal restraining order to attend Barbers Hill High School while lawsuit proceeds.

Darryl George, 18, spent most of his junior year in in-school suspension due to his hairstyle violating school dress code.
He was forced to unenroll from Barbers Hill High School and transfer to another district due to continued punishment.
George's federal lawsuit claims racial and gender discrimination, citing the CROWN Act which prohibits race-based hair discrimination.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown dismissed most of George's claims but allowed the gender discrimination claim to proceed.
A court hearing is scheduled for October 3 to consider George's request for a temporary restraining order to return to school.
