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.

      You think this backwater bunch of racists gives a fuck about religions that aren’t their particular flavor of Christian?

        Probably not, but they do allow religious exemptions.

        The principal may grant an exemption to any of the above provisions if a student has a disability or medical condition rendering compliance with the provisions detrimental to the student’s physical health or if a student requests and is approved for a religious exemption. A student who wishes to receive a disability or religious exemption from the dress code must complete and submit the dress code exemption form, which is available on each campus and on the District website.
