Darryl George has been suspended for more than two weeks because his loc hairstyle violates the Barbers Hill Independent School District dress and grooming code, according to his family.
The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,” CNN previously reported.

Jesus would get suspended.
I mean... he kind of did.
Nailed it
J-dawg is always hanging around.
Yeah, Texas isn't kind to those of us with unique hairstyles.
It is Texas so yeah.
What is this? The tiny town from Footloose?
It’s a small town in Chambers County, Texas.
They want that All American Good Ol’ Boy Johnny Unitas, not that scandalous hippie ne’er-do-well Joe Namath
