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.

    That’s actually my theory. The CROWN act is designed to prevent racial discrimination and went into effect on the same week. My bet is that this kid is being used as a scapegoat to get the law challenged by the SCOTUS.
