Its not a hairstyling policy, its his hair length that's in violation which is not a violation of the schools right to enforce said poliicy. Remove him and find a school that will accept his hair length
Very disturbing that a school district wrongfully punished this child, violated the crown act, and were not held accountable.
Ok I'm so confused. Capitol Hill and doctors are arguing over ivf laws, while Texas is at a legislative civil war over hairstyles. This world is so doomed. 💔💔
Something like this happened 4 years back in Texas they will find anything to dislike us for our find something they don’t like our understand but I know one thing we will get the last laugh!!! So live it up enjoy we almost outta here nothing more I need to say
There's a lot missing about this. Who ordered the punishment? A principal? A "district" member? If it's multiple people, what are ALL their names, and political biases? Nope.. leave it all to the imagination. If it was a right-leaning politician, school board member, principle… with anything that even remotely can be associated (even falsely) with "right-wingers" or "MAGA nuts," we'd all know about their life story already. Something doesn't add up here. Look up "Members of Houston school district," and you'll see that- out of 9 members- only one even looks white, and that would be forgetting that skin color doesn't determine ancestry. Most people are surprised to find the extent of their ancestry. The rest of the board members are ethnic minorities. THIS is why it's so ambiguous. Goes against "The Message" (See "The Critical Drinker" here on Youtube) that "Diversity equals strength," and that no person who isn't white can do any wrong. Democrats hate that SOOOO much. Doesn't fit the forced narrative they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes to sell. Doesn't allow completely unbalanced leftist-only content to thrive quite as well. Shatters the foundational building blocks of much leftist thinking and perspective. And must be eliminated from public spectatorship. The modern MainStreamMedia "news" for you, ladies and gents. What they think we deserve to know, and nothing more.
The rules against natural hair is a very old form of white supremacy. This is 100% unacceptable
Dress codes in schools serve multiple purposes. They foster a sense of unity, reduce distractions, promote a safe and inclusive environment, and prepare students for professional settings. While these codes may differ from one school to another, they are generally designed to be applicable to all students, irrespective of their racial or ethnic backgrounds.
It's natural for some individuals to view dress codes as unfair or discriminatory, especially if they feel that certain communities are disproportionately affected. However, it's crucial to scrutinize the specific guidelines and their underlying intentions before forming judgments. A dress code policy that is enforced uniformly and without prejudice is typically not deemed discriminatory.
It's also important to remember that parents and students have the freedom to choose a school that aligns with their preferences, whether it has a dress code or not. When selecting a school, parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with its rules and regulations, including the dress code policies, to ensure they are comfortable with them.
In essence, the objective of a school dress code is not just to maintain decorum, but also to create a conducive learning environment. It aims to instill a sense of discipline and respect for rules in students, regardless of their racial or ethnic identities.
This is stupid. I had purple hair 30 years ago and even though the principle didn't like it I wasn't punished for it.
There’s bullying and harassment going in schools and still kids with braids dreadlocks are still being told as too much hair fam might as well, tell all of us girls with mes length hair to ban that length as will. Like this is fully control and discrimination 😢
Every time I look up news in a certain state, all I see are Black people arguing about something. Two liberal, two open, be more respectable, and stay away from white people.
The world degrees short hair for boys and men. Crewcut is even better. Old rules were better. This new liberal crap is no good. Go back to Jamaica if you like that long hair.
We're systemically challenged, the rules don't apply to us. Cut your damn hair or change schools……………..pretty f'ckn' simple.
Headline should be Texas judge and school are racist.
That white news lady is a racist
They just need to move.
This is my last time letting y’all know let me just put this this way I’m not disrespecting little one. This is just my opinion because my mother worked in the school system where I live at.
I know every state school system or school district have their own policies
But I really feel like the school system needs to take their policies when it comes to student and revaluated and change some things
Besides, this is just coming from someone who mom worked in the school system for over 30 years of experience and also work in the school system as a school administrator !
And myself who volunteered at my mother school
All I’m saying is let that be somebody else and we are totally different story and y’all know I’m telling the truth
We all can agree to disagree on everything but like I said
School board needs to look at the school policies when it comes to student and change some things
Y’all can agree to disagree with me, but all I’m saying is y’all need to look at this from a teachers point of view but also from a students point of view?
And I can tell you if we could have a copy of what that school policies is for the students then maybe we can figure out if this was justified to me I don’t think this was justified in the way judge ruled. Sorry.
This is my opinion y’all can agree to disagree on it, but I’m telling y’all this from a point of view of someone who mother worked in the school system
Thank god we Texans have been saved from the hair. Next time the power grid fails we can warm ourselves with that security. 😒 I don't care how long that kid's hair is, can we maybe make sure that kids get to learn American history, read books, and eat lunch?
Why TF dos it matter at all what length anybodies hair is? Straight BS these schools worry about a kids hair but can’t keep guns out of schools or have a proper police response to active shooter situations in schools. Worried about the wrong crap.
The south is a dump
I don't care for the style myself but that's just a matter of taste. There's no quicker way tomake a style popular than have the administration be against it. If they would approve the style and say it was mandated then guys likely wouldn't want it. I graduated high school in 1973, the height of the long hair craze for guys. At our 50th reunion maybe one in twenty still had the long hair. Just be patient.
The style is the length, the length is the style. Omg duuuh.
What if they were Puerto Ricans etc? Really it's so many other nationalities that boy in that race have long hair and wear their long hair. So what about them? You can tell the difference between girl of boy with a long length of hair? Redo the paperwork and refile the law or start over and include length.
These comments are absolutely pathetic and sad to read so many people whining and condoning this bs! This is why there is no order anymore and these kids today are so messed up and entitled because we have so many grown ass adults who are kids themselves & don't understand or respect rules and regulations. The policy is the policy and was in place for years before the kid and mom decided to attend the school! You can't come in somebody elses institution and make your own rules. You can't have long hair in the military or at certain jobs and you can't pull the bs my ancestors excuse. Other boys got suspended for the same thing in 2020 and they either cut the damn hair or left the school. He isn't special and its sad yall applauding wasting time and tax payer dollars on such foolishness. Again this is why our young black boys are so messed up these coddling behind mothers and this my baby can't do no wrong mentality. I think if his father was around or more involved none of us would be here in these comments. Just cut the hair and get your education or find another school that doesn't have hair restrictions SIMPLE FIX.
As blacks, we can’t have our hair lay down like a white person unless it has chemicals. The locks, braids and twists is a way to keep the hair tidy or from getting messy. If it is away from his face, I don’t see the issue.
Welcome to communist Texas
Are you freaking kidding me ?!?!? 😮😮😮😮😮
