Darryl George, a 17-year-old Black high school student from Mont Belvieu, Texas, has been suspended since August 31st for his hairstyle, prompting his family to file a civil rights lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton. The lawsuit claims that the school district's dress code is discriminatory and violates George's civil rights, citing the CROWN Act which prohibits discrimination based on hairstyles associated with race. The lawsuit seeks an injunction to end George's suspension and prevent the school district from enforcing the dress code in a discriminatory manner, as well as damages for George's emotional distress.
