Judge rules in favor of Texas school district in Darryl George trial. After just a few hours of testimony in Anahuac, TX state District Judge Chap Cain III, agreed with suspension. The CROWN Act, a new state law that allegedely prohibits race-based hair discrimination is not violated according to the ruling.
In December, George’s family filed a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency, as well as a federal civil rights lawsuit against Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and the school district for violating the state’s CROWN ACT.
“I love my hair, it is sacred and it is my strength,” said George in court documents.
Texas superintendent defended the school district’s position to repeatedly suspend Darryl George for how he wore his locs.
