Black student suspended over his hairstyle to be sent to an alternative education program



Gotta love Texas

The thing here (N. Texas) is that they aren't just targeting hair like his.  The schools around here stopped allowing what they termed to be unnatural hair colors.  That didn't mean that a brunette couldn't bleach their hair but that they could no longer have even streaks of colors such as blue, red, purple.  Applied highlights didn't count as being against the rule.  'Cause that's what's important to focus on...not the education of the students.

In defending George's in-school suspension, the school explicitly noted that dress codes and hair standards are in place in order to teach conforming to social norms.

Fuck them.
