For more than a month, Darryl George, a Black high school student in Texas, spent each school day sitting by himself in punishment over his hairstyle.
This week, he was sent to a separate disciplinary program, where he's been told he will spend several more weeks away from classmates.
But the family said George is not looking to change schools. They want to take a stand at a school that has clashed previously with other Black male students over their hairstyles. Barbers Hill Superintendent Greg Poole said Friday in an email to the AP that officials cannot disclose the infractions that led to George's current placement, but it was not because of his hair.
Dress code and hair violations disproportionately affect students of color, said Ashley Sawyer, senior staff attorney at the Advancement Project, a civil rights advocacy organization. She said students are pressured to conform to standards that may not factor in their culture and heritage, such as wearing natural hair.
