Why can’t white America leave Black children’s hair alone?

A Texas school is punishing a teenager for wearing his hair in neat locs. How is this still happening in 2024?

@hawaiianeye797 As a long haired white person I don’t believe that the school district has any authority to tell anyone what their hairstyle should be.
@bondolo Agreed. Unless someone voluntarily joins a group that has a dress code that all adhere to, people should be free to wear their hair any way they want.
