Darryl George was suspended from his Texas high school over the length of his locs hairstyle. He was given another round of suspension, a civil rights activist helping his family, Dr. Candice Matthews, told Insider. "Daryl is sitting on a stool, a stool in a cubby," Darresha George told Insider. Bloom told Insider that the district's policy on hair length does not violate the Crown Act. His hair is a connection to God," Matthews said, adding that Darryl's dad's hair, stepdad's hair, and brother's hair is woven into his own.
