A Black Texas high school student who was suspended because his loc hairstyle violated the district’s dress code was suspended again upon his return to school Monday, an attorney for the family told CNN.
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.
Land of the free, home of the "long hair is only for girls".
This view is rooted in 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 "Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering".
I have no point to make beyond pointing that out as trivia.
Sucks to be Samson
Right? I wonder how Paul thought about that?
Modern depictions of Jesus in shambles.
Paul said a lot of things in his letters that only could have possibly made sense in the time and place of the person/city he was writing to. Yet almost 2000 years later, people are still taking it as an absolute truth.
Paul flat out contradicts the Bible at points. Doesn't he say to refuse food to people in your commune if they aren't working?
His sexism doesn't make sense either. There is a very heavy implication in having the women who followed Jesus maintain their faith and belief when even the disciples did not. Maybe it's unintentional, but it very clearly suggests that the women are far more pious and holy. Paul has no business saying they have no dominion over him.
More like Racist School District is Racist As Fuck. Texas passed a law making this shit illegal, primarily because of this exact School District!
If you have to tell people how free they are, they're not.
