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.

    below the ear lobes when let down.

    You know, I was coming in here to make a joke about how when the article says

    male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes

    they would say that "any time" also applies when he takes a shower at home, but the code literally says that. Yikes.
