This nonsense should have been REALLY settled with the Crown Act being signed into law, but here we are....
NEWS: The family of a Black high school student suspended for his hairstyle has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Texas' governor and attorney general.

@LilHulkQ While I am certainly against dress codes in public schools of any kind, im confused why they claim a policy that is neutrally written (simply doesnt hair past a certain length) somehow is a racial issue itself.
Now i think its fair to be concerned it was **applied** raciall and only use to attack this poor kid and letting whites who violate get a pass.. and that should be illegal and persued in court if that happened.
But reading the court case thats not what they are arguing. They are arguing the policy itself, even if uniformly applied, disproportionately attacks blacks... how does a length restriction on hair disproportionately target blacks on its own? I mean if anything the opposite, since the law is defined by length past ones elbows that would target straight haired people disproportionately while tightly-curled hair would form an afro and would take quite the effort to get an afro "below the elbows"...
So yea... while i dont know if he was discriminated against specifically im really having a hard time seeing where this rule, when applied evenly, would be racist. I would love to hear thoughts that might explain this.
@freemo in May of 2020 in the same school district a federal judge ruled the district’s hair policy was discriminatory. I'll let this play in court. I sense some willful ignorance from your post. Could be wrong but anyway...Take care...
I mean i am specifically making a post asking for clarification... Meaning i identified my possibility of ignorance and asking for someone to clarify it.
How is a request for someone to correct my ignorance somehow the opposite, willful ignorance? That seems odd.

Thank you for attempted to answer this, but that wasnt my question. I asked for what the logic or reasoning behind it being discriminatory. Knowing some judge ruled it to be discriminatory doesn't really answer that does it?
@JoBlakely @freemo Spot on Jo.
Especially when pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.
GTFO with that toxic shit.. I am sincerely here trying to better understand the perspective in the hopes I can adopt it. The disgusting toxic shit you two are trying to do to make that seem like some racist undertone is disgusting. Especially when, as someone who is not white myself, is part of a victim of that same discrimination, so clearly I would care.
Shame on you for creating a toxic environment where minorities cant simply discuss topics in the hope to understand a perspective without being villanized...
And for the record no one made any "relentless request" of you or anyone.. what a disgusting way to frame an earnest question asked in the open for anyone who **Wants** to answer it.
You **ARE** the problem, not the solution, at this point you are almost indistinguishable from the right trolling people with good intent.
