Texas Judge Denies Black Student's Request to Return After Hair Suspension

Darryl George's appeal to resume studies without facing punishment for his dreadlocks was rejected as legal proceedings continue.

Darryl George, a Black student, was suspended from Barbers Hill High School for his dreadlocks, deemed a dress code violation.
A federal judge denied George's request for a temporary restraining order, citing delays in filing the appeal.
George's lawsuit claims his suspension violates the CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination.
The judge dismissed most of George's claims, except for gender discrimination, while the school district argues its dress code promotes discipline and safety.
George has transferred to another school after experiencing stress over potential continued punishment.
