Darryl George says he was sent to a disciplinary school after refusing to cut off his locs. George's Texas high school suspended him in September, saying his hairstyle violated school policy. AdvertisementAdvertisementFor more than a month, Darryl George, a Black high school student in Texas, spent each school day sitting by himself in punishment over his hairstyle. George on Thursday attended his first day at the disciplinary school, where he sits in a cubicle and does schoolwork. "I hope I can start being a kid again, start living my life, start playing football again and enjoy my year, my last few years in high school," he said.
