CROWN Act co-author: Barbers Hill ISD skirting new law, acting in ‘bad faith’ while continuing to punish Black student with dreadlocks

Darryl George, an 18-year-old Black student at Barbers Hill High School, has faced disciplinary action all school year because he wears dreadlocks and has refused to cut them. The school district claims its issue is with George's hair length and not his hairstyle, the latter of which is protected by a new Texas law.
