A new controversy is brewing over a 17-year-old's high school accused of violating a Texas law banning discrimination based on hair associated with race.
Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, Texas, is accused of violating the CROWN Act, a law banning hair discrimination associated with race.Seventeen-year-old Darryl is a junior at Barbers Hill High School, but according to his mom, he's spent most of the year so far on in-school suspension because of his hair.The CROWN Act went into effect six days ago, on Sept. 1.
Texas is now one of 24 states in the country that bans discrimination based on hair texture or hairstyles associated with race. A similar situation at Barbers Hill in 2020 led to the passage of the CROWN Act. De'Andre Arnold was told to cut his long locs back then, and he and others sued the district.
