Texas Judge Rules School District Legally Punished Black Student Who Wouldn't Cut Locs

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Despite that, the judge found that the school district legally punished George for not adhering to the school's hair-length policy and dress code and that the district didn't violate the CROWN Act, the Associated Press reports.
43% : However, the district argued that the suspension was over a violation of school policy and that the CROWN Act "says nothing about hair length.""The issue is simple: we have many students who wear locs and comply with male hair-length policy," David Bloom, Barbers Hill ISD's Director of Communications, told Rolling Stone in January.
40% : George's legal team said that the student's punishment over his hair length was a violation of the CROWN Act -- or Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair -- which prohibits race-based hair discrimination in schools and businesses.
