After a Houston-area judge ruled that hair length is not covered by the CROWN Act, allowing Barbers Hill ISD to keep punishing a Black student with dreadlocks, the Texas law's co-author vowed to close the loophole.

A Texas judge has ruled that a high school was not violating the CROWN Act by punishing student Darryl George for the length of his dreadlocks. George has been in in-school suspension or at an off-site disciplinary program for most of the school year since August. The school said that George's hair violated a dress code regarding length of boys' hair; the family argued that protective hairstyles — which are covered by the CROWN act — require a certain amount of length. The family plans to appeal the decision.

"Being an American requires conformity"
It’s not clear how Poole was expecting that sentence to be received, but he might as well have written, “America is white supremacy, and your Black asses will bow down if you know what’s good for you!”

Poole defended his district’s policy and wrote that districts with a traditional dress code are safer and had higher academic performance and that “being an American requires conformity.”
That could be the most brazenly un-American remark ever uttered.

His district says his hair, which is long but neatly tied and twisted on top of his head, violates a dress code. George says his hairstyle is protected by the CROWN Act. AP reports.
