Honestly I think you are giving them a pass with the hypberbole, though I know that's not your intent.

This is good ol' American Style bigotry and racism.

No, this is American level racism.

I’m the whitest dude you ever saw, and it’s even obvious to me: black hair is different, at a molecular level. You can’t mindlessly apply grooming standards to people who are not the same, physically. Not better, not worse (obviously), just different. These people are racist.

Well, much larger than molecules, at the strand of hair level. Very wavy or curly hair has an oval profile while straight hair is round.

They are doing him a favour by excluding him from that backward school. Hopefully he is strong and has good people around him.

They’re not doing him a favor by sending him to whatever passes for a “disciplinary alternative education program” in Texas though. Sounds like they’re trying to stick him on the fast track in the school-to-prison pipeline.

Ironic of this story to come out of a place called “Barbers” highschool. They take their haircuts pretty damn seriously up on that hill.

Time for the students to protest by having hair that isn’t “acceptable.” I imagine suspending most of the students won’t go over well

What does geometric even mean? Cubes? Dodecahedrons?

Can we call it a dodecahedron-o-do?

Edit: kids should start styling their hair into cubes, in protest. “The rules say it must be geometrical!”

I think they mean you gotta have a hairstyle that looks like it was directly pulled from a N64 era video game

wait… n64 characters weren’t all just bald…?

Hupf ,

Basically, take Ramiel’s hairstyle as an example.

Random thoughts:

Disgust at the principal.

How is this not race based discrimination?

Why is a state law protecting from race based discrimination even necessary when the constitution should do that already?

I’m impressed Texas passed an anti-discrimination law aimed at protecting an oppressed group.

How is this not sex based discrimination?

Agent641 ,

Kinda funny that its called Barbers’ hill

gravitas_deficiency , to news in Black student suspended over his hairstyle to be sent to an alternative education program

Fuck, dude, that is painfully racist of the school.

Ah yes, lets punish and humiliate a person for expressing a completely harmless form of individuality at point in their lives where individuality is exceedingly important for healthy development. This won’t have any negative consequences at all.

Reverendender , to news in Black student suspended over his hairstyle to be sent to an alternative education program

Ah, so Texas is pulling an Iran. Stay classy, lone star state.

Of course it’s Texas.

HidingCat , to news in Black student suspended over his hairstyle to be sent to an alternative education program

I really cannot stand this shit, I remember back in school we had to have approved hairstyles and uniform rules, it was all bs to me. None of that really had any corelation to how good a student was.
