Its a shame that we are defending our hair styles in the 21st century!
THIS LET ALL OF US KNOW, WE ARE STILL IN SEGREGATION AND RACISM IS THE DRIVING FACTOR!
Jim Crow in the 21st Century.
They really trying to copy minneasota i,m from Amarillo moved to minneasota in 2016 the have a group of east Africans called somialians over a million or more in this city and 92% of them are Muslim there women stayed wrapped up....
So here I understood why that law was passed considering the type of groups in this city..
But texas naw, I don't see it They just copying laws passed from other states...
Illian Omar who is a somialian senator in minneasota is who created the law
A lot of this is our fault because after all we've been through dealing with these racist devils 👿 we should have came together and get our own schools, because for one they don't teach the truth anyways, but again this should make us say okay enough is enough and we simply invest in our own schools and everything because we're a $7 trillion dollar people,, which makes no sense to still be sending our children to these racist devils 👿 schools 💯
Keep fighting. Take it to the supreme court
Halleluyah, just whhhat I was waiting to HEAR. He is an HONOR student..
Almighty God guide this team. And Lord protect this family. Blessings family
Federal school monies should be suspended until this school district complies with the Crown Act.
The crown act states African hair styles. It doesn't state short or long hair styles. The word styles covers both short and long hair styles. The judge and the school are petty. They're harrassing this African American student and violating his human rights.
Pure harrassment 😡
He isn’t African he is American black young man they do it because baby so many are lost dk who they are. It starts with identity crisis our ppl are having starting with RACE. God don’t sleep I been tired of these folks with their corrupt system, fear tactics, and laws they abuse daily. We all need to go stand with rapping that County. Everybody kin judges down to cops
BE SPECIFIC! Dot your 'I"s and cross your 'T"s!!!
Do not give them ANY loopholes. Include hair color,height,male ,female etc.
@@mareerogers364YES❣️✊🏾
He's an excellent student straight A's, no disciplinary problems that's why they're doing this. They want to bring the good Black boys down.
Get them Sheila Jackson Lee. Just another way to hold back our young men who are willing to learn.
Oceans of blessings to that young man.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is really disturbing. The judge and the school overstepped. This young man's hair has nothing to do with his learning brain. His hair..... Tight, short, long, braided, twisted, pulled up or down is hos preference. Why are we having to write laws for a limited perspective (opinion) of a judge who clearly does not understand black hair styles and a school administrator who needs to change their rules. The board of education needs to discipline the school for putting him in isolation. The judge clearly is not qualified to rule in this case. Both parties owe that family an apology.
He was most likely paid to make that decision, that's what they do over here in this racist community. Hide things from the public and keep the corruption going a community of sinners.
Black people have always had to fight harder than everybody else for what is due to us. We should always be mentally prepared to take it to the Supreme Court. And we shall never give up fighting until we get what we want. It’s good to see Sheila Jackson doing her job.
The school board should be sued and also School's. From taking his education from him over dreadlocks he's not going to school for hair he going to school too his lessons
Right on, I am with you 100%!
✊🏾
And they did this b.s during black history month racism with boldness baby
Colonized mindset.
Yep
They basically was saying without saying, that they think black people and our hair are dirty and unprofessional! And I was just reviewing the Crown Act during BHM facts!
That is deplorable. The Jim Crow laws are illegal, yet he wants him alone in a room. Sounds like a racist civil rights action and he should pay for making a child suffer like that for NO reason. Except his racist reason. Get him out!!
But the white student with locs to his shoulders is free to do as he pleases. Take him out of school as well.
FACTS@@tamishaboiette378
That makes NO sense why the white student isn't treated same except racism@@tamishaboiette378
Get Ben Crump and sue ALL of them!
Put in a grievance on the judge. The mission statement of Justice The Department of Justice (DOJ) is "to uphold the rules law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights." Independence and impartiality. Stop the unjust on. No one is above the law.
It's just hard to believe court proceedings are used because of Black cultural HAIR styles of a teenager!!! This is simply ridiculous ! His hair is neat, well groomed and stylish in a manner that represents his culture. Why are we focusing on hair instead of education for this young man? I hope he becomes a Lawyer and help combat this nonsense. Stay strong young man.
The stupid judge says, "If" he takes his hair down, he would be in violation.
Oh my gosh we need to do something about some of the Judges delivering such ridiculous rules which are their opinions. This is ridiculous. I apologize for the stupidity of adults.
Let’s get together and have a meeting on the steps right before we vote 🗳️ there ass out
Houston would wake up then I’m very serious. Houston citizen s need to stand for something let’s get these racist judges out of pocket
POST IT AND THEY WILL COME
This makes no sense. Stay strong, young man. 🙏🙏🙏
Shame on them. They are trying to destroy this young man by making an example out of him. But I see that he is strong because he has not given up. Stay strong, and you will win. Praying.
He is standing strong as a young man. I can only imagine what type of man God is molding when he has the matching age. Unstoppable like ms. RHIANNA SANG.
Traumatizing that young, brilliant baby 😮
No weapon formed against him shall prosper!!!!!
I think too many people discount self esteem and expression in young people. Let's leave children alone in how they dress and concentrate on teaching them to respect themselves and others. Hair DOES NOT DISTRACT from education. This kind of judicial behavior distracts from necessary rulings, though. How about the courts concentrate on violence and crime instead?
Take your kids out of there schools
Good on her for backing this kid. The whole situation is f’d
You mean good for re-election. She and the rest of the cbc are useless. Since her bid for mayor fell through, she needs to make sure she keeps her seat in DC.
She stood up for this one issue but said nothing when the Asian anti-hate crime bill was passed off the lies that were told about Black people. And why when Black people say things that they sound so insecure so hesitant so tense and so lacking of confidence in what they are saying.
Sheila didn't care when the young man was getting in trouble regarding his crown she wants to get voted in and i'm not feeling Sheila.
If only she would’ve sponsored HR40 witch is a witch hunt she doesn’t respect foundational black families but want there votes 🗳️….no Sheila yall gone pay 💰 for our vote 🗳️ or it’s the 🛋️and you guys will visit HR and never 👎🏿 return again
Get your agenda together for only FBA
@@BeeBee-wu1fzthank you sister and the HR 40 she can’t get my vote 🗳️ she is an embarrassment
And, there is definitely racism at that school my children were there and graduated. Thank God I never had a problem. There are many serious problems at that school that should be addressed and hair shouldn't be one, this is ridiculous and disgusting.
Get Ben Crump and sue ALL of them!
This is why i will never live in one of those ' small towns ' .
I feel the same way.
It is not a small town law, this is a Texas decision which is huge and racist...
I live in a small town and have never been happier-nor BLACKER.

Thank you for helping this young man and all the other kids with hair/ braids. May the lord continue to bless you and your team
Speak loud and clearly, and the truth 👏👏🏼👏🏻👏🏿 Bravo.. Black Americans must listen and watch what individual people who will not uphold the law. On one is above the law judges.
We should have specific cultural schools for Black Americans just as Jewish youth have because we are a special group that have been targeted in this country. The assimilation has been detrimental.
We’re fighting for you young man, but if that’s the price you have to pay to keep your culture hair style so be it we still cheering you on, great job mom and dad
Texas vote these people out...
We will vote Shelia out again!!!
We vote your racist ass..ok@@mareerogers364
See stupid you sound ...go stand in corner@@mareerogers364
This decision is deplorable. What is our next step and how can we all help?
I'm so glad they're taking this to the federal level! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why? We should take things like reading scores, neighborhood violence, the low homeownership rate, single families, lack of wealth....our leaders come out fighting for trivial matters instead of the real issues to look like they are helping.
stay tuned for the next episode of my black hair special.... hopefully he can read
What hell you talking about racist@@margesherwood5103

Thank you for your diligence in seeking the rights of this young man and anyone else who has been ostracized for his or her hair.

Land mark decision Title 6 needed to protect our children....
Crown Act needs to be implemented in All States All Districts no matter the length.
Stand beside the students who want to wear tĥeiŕ hair in any style or length
Prayers for Mr. George...
As a Black Woman wearing my hair in locs, I remember when I wore braids...my first opponents were my parents. The culture they came up in was to straighten your hair by any means.. Perms, pressing my hair a hot comb. I was so happy no more skin burns 😮 no more hair loss, from by products that have😢😮 caused by chemicals that should not be used on skin or hair!
I stand beside this issue.
Mr. George..
If your hair was being burned out,etc. - you need to look at the person whom was providing your services. If u got burned like that, that was who u had in your hair. I’m a daughter of a professional cosmetologist & instructor. Who went international straightening/ pressing hair. Stop the cap.
@bigannie105
Lol, at times as a child it was a relative. Even with a big towel, the grease would find a way. Then it was ears being burned..I was tender headed and uncomfortable...My hair was thick.coarse and tightly coiled..Hair dressers didn't like working on my hair.. There was Vigoral that helped. It was a liquid texturing agent that eventually worked....
So when the Afro and Braids entered the picture 📸
I was there Front & center.
My First rebellion was my hair and I had so much fun and what a confidence booster.
I am upset by what they did to this young man. Publicly embarrassing him by putting him on display..
Much like they did 400 years ago. Horrible and intentional!
Whether the relaxer is applied correctly without burning, it is still damaging to the nature of the scalp- hence the class action law suit due to the obvious side effect of applying harsh chemicals not naturally meant for anyone's scalp, including caucasians!!! It should remain a choice and going natural should not result in punishment in any form or place... to those who are still in the relaxing hair care business, much prosperity to you! LoveLove
@@bigannie105that’s why it’s a class action lawsuit because the chemicals were to harsh and caused cancer… also if you even got the hot comb you bet ya bottom dollar somebody burned you🤷🏾♀️😩grandma , auntie, sister or mother…. And we all know what happened if you scratched before a perm….
He’s standing because of the strength the most high has given him. The strength of his ancestors and parents it’s all in him!! We are resilient 💪🏾💪🏾And thank you for taking on this fight!!How can you go against what’s law!!
Thank you Rep Sheila Jackson❤
SISTER Jackson Lee! I have been waiting on you!!! Thank you for getting into the weeds with us on this matter.
Keep fighting #TheCrownAct
Im 67...Fighting these battles in 2024 speaks volumes.
I can be anything in the USA and be accepted, even if that acceptance is enforced by law... Except if you're Black and from the lineage of the enslaved. Our existence is deemed provocation enough to warrant every type of atrocity. Every aspect of our lives is monitored. We're the only ethnic group told how were allowed to dress, walk, and talk. I'm praying for JAH/GOD to judge these injustices.🍃🙏🏾🍃
This is unreal! As if America doesn't have more crucial matters at hand! Geez!!
Amen, keep on fighting
@@action8859A check that the racists don’t mind paying. You obviously didn’t get the memo!
✊🏾
We will not go back!!!! Good Trouble!!!!!!
Exactly.
This is Texas y'all racism is alive and well. The judge is doing favors for his donors and close racist friends.
Everything is not racist and I am a black person he doesn't want to follow the rules why doesn't he go to a district where it's no rules.

Hate runs deep. PERIOD
This is Sad that this World will fight for anybody but Black People.✊🏽👌🏽👏🏾
Everyone has to look at it as a biblical point of view. They wanted to cut his locs off just like in the scriptures of Samson. Because they know that we are the true Israelites.
So many don’t have a clue. They do this stuff innately. They don’t even fully understand their hatred.
The threat is that deep?... Are we hearing this right... A hair style? These people are that in fear where a hair style is a threat, this is beyond belief and very troubling. This is down right disgusting bigoted behavior. Sickening...
Why is black hairstyles needed to be argued in court, no one elses hair is governed by law. So petty!! A waste of court time. Hair styles have no business taking up court proceedings!!!
This is just more control of the Black people in this america.
Why do u argue about what kind of skin pigmentation, or texture of hair ,length, or kind of styles, ne person does with how they adorn their attributes acquired by Their Creator, those of whom are upset with attributes of ne1s' physical attributes, really should b posing all of their objections to ones CREATOR, as long as an individual maintain health, cleanliness, and, promote safety of self and others is NOT, again, NOT the concern of others PERIOD!!!
Ne person trying to govern another persons' NATURAL ATTRIBUTES r insanely out of their senses of reality.
Take it up with THE MOST HIGH !!!!!
This issue is none of mans' concern.
Thank you Representative Jackson!
Its gon get done with Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee. Thank you Mrs. Lee.
I say it's time for him to go to another school either within his state or better yet do online school is no way you should be behind trying to prove a point definitely get your education. This is a sinister shame. But I'm so proud of Dr. Candice sticking by him
This answers the question of why many black women feel the need to wear weaves and wigs… because these employers discriminate when it comes to our hair texture and we need to have a job! It’s a shame!
Ask the Principal or School Administrators how long his hair is? They have no idea bc he keeps it n updos.
These ppl are Dumb, they won't back down just bc they want 2 be right so bad but they know they're Wrong. These are the crucial yrs where kids express who they are & who they're going 2 be. Each child has that Right. And the school shld be supporting that.
I applaud this young man & his family for fighting 2 be who he his.
Leave these kids Alone, let them Live!
Very unfortunate....this is why we need our own schools that teach curriculums that empower our youth and celebrate their culture...
Wonder what the schools rules are on hair length for girls. His hair isnt even hanging past the ears, as their rule states.
The only rules when it comes to girls hair is to not dye the hair unnatural colors. But the girls can wear their hair whatever length they want but the boys can't.
Try to get away from these white people, they will unalive you as you sleep. They pick pick pick. The sun will take them out for their act's of hatred. They are no longer needed.
We need to be separated from the white people. All other people come to America separates. They are wise for doing so.
Please Ms Jackson Lee keep standing with and for the under served maligned and outcast of our society❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks for standing up for our children, God Bless ❤.
The JEALOUSY is palpable. I agree there should be restrictions on appearances within institutions, however if neatly kept or not distracting--there should be no cause for these types of unnecessary injustices. We're STILL here people 🤦🏽♀️
It seem to me that the Judge is racist in him and shouldn’t be on the bench, this has to be a private school, if that wasn’t an issue when he registered and money paid what’s the problem now, sue them and then go to another school, because after this they’re going to make his life hell there.

😢😮 Since they are using him as example .They should be paying this young man it can't take back the hurt ,pain and suffering he has endured .PAY HIM❤❤❤
It's always a fight for the superior race. SMH.
The CROWN Act, which stands for "Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair," is legislation that was created in 2019 by Adjoa Asamoah. She co-created the CROWN Coalition, along with Orlena Nwokah Blanchard, Esi Eggleston Bracey and Kelli Richardson Lawson.
Together, these women have been advocating for people with textured hair and hairstyles-whether it's an Afro, braids, twists, locs, bantu knots or a variety of curl types-to be able to exist in a space without discrimination.
Asmoah is also the "Senior Advisor for Racial Equity" to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary.
She reacted to Thursday's verdict, telling CBS News Texas, "Those who violate laws enacted to make it illegal to discriminate must ultimately be held accountable."
She continued to say:
"What has been happening to Darryl George is wrong, on multiple levels, and there should be collective outrage - including from those same people who profess to be believers of individual rights. What we have seen, including throughout history, is these people will use a PROXY for race without hesitation. These alleged race neutral policies disproportionately impact Black people! In this particular case, from the photos I've seen, it's seemingly impossible to determine the "length" of his hair-as styled. As such, the decision is quite literally unfathomable."
Ridiculous how an opinion of one ethnicity can dictate what we can or cannot do. As stated, this young man is in class for an education not to be ridiculed for his hairstyle. How dare them!
The object is to keep us fighting over things anything .
You are beautiful with OR without hair!!! Own it and be proud!
Lord, let there be justice!!!
A True Violation! Thank you for putting a flod light on this matter MBN
If we’re going to discriminate hairdos where can I register my complaint of trumps?
