Trial Date Set for Texas Student Suspended Over Length of Locs Hairstyle

A Texas judge has ordered a trial date for Darryl George, a Houston-area teen who has been suspended from his school for months due to the length of his locs hairstyle. The trial, set to begin on February 22, will determine whether the school's dress code violates the state's Crown Act, a law that prohibits discrimination based on hairstyles commonly associated with race.

While the dress code allows students to wear locs hairstyles, it places restrictions on the length of male students' hair. According to the code, male students' hair cannot extend below the top of a t-shirt collar, below the eyebrows, or below the ear lobes when let down. Will Su...
