A Black student was suspended for his hairstyle. The school says it wasn't discrimination
apnews.com
The same week his state outlawed racial discrimination based on hairstyles, a Black high school student in Texas was suspended because school officials say his dreadlocks violated the district’s dress code.

I was expecting something clearly offensive, like FUCK YOU shaved into his head, but nope.

Personally, I think his hair looks pretty cool.

    Yeah. Younger, naive me didn’t understand why laws about hair were necessary. It didn’t make me angry; I just didn’t get it.

    Now I understand what assholes conservatives can be, and the lengths they will go to in order to keep discrimination alive.
