A Black teen in Texas was suspended and won't be able to walk at graduation bc his school says his dreadlocks are too long.
DeAndre Arnold's mother told @FOX26Houston his hair "is a part of his culture, his dad is a Trinidadian... how can I put him in a barber chair." [

"This not about dress code, this is about policing Black boys."
Black Lives Matter activists pressed a Texas school board, Barbers Hill ISD, after a teen was punished for the length of his dreadlocks, reports @KPRC2.
Only 3 states ban discrimination based on hair.
i smell.... hmmm... racism.
And sexism. I'm positive there are women in his school with longer hair than his.
Can someone explain exactly how the length of his hair impedes his ability to learn? Especially since we all know there are girls at his school with hair at least as long as his.
Actually he as already learned..
students should boycott the graduation in solidarity. they can’t have a graduation if students don’t attend. what a racist, sexist and outdated policy
looking at you —> @BHISD
Yes they should. Problem is 97% of the kids are white. Which I’m sure most of that 97% won’t boycott and stand with him.
it's Barber's Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, TX, for those who want to get in touch
