It’s the exact same case, except the new kid’s hair is less long and since then (literally in response to it) Texas passed the CROWN Act to make it explicit. Nothing changed to make it allowed, they just decided to keep doing it. And I’d say it’s pretty safe to call the judge, who ruled against a previous federal ruling and the law explicitly added in response to the previous violation, is just another Republican racist with no concern for the law. Feels like we need a new round of federal supervision for civil rights in South.
Also, all this seems like something a journalist might want to include in a story.
This exact same school district already lost a pre-CROWN Act federal lawsuit about requiring Black students to cut their hair.

Sherman should have finished the job in the south.
Very good callback to the previous information. Really sad what passes for journalism these days. We’ve lost the fourth pillar of Democracy.
The only thing i miss from Reddit is being able to gild this comment.
So giving more money to Spez, basically.
Thats why I’m not still there!
I appreciate the words more than any pixels Reddit would sold to you.
