Darryl George , 18 , was punished for nearly all of his junior year over his hairstyle.

He was kept out of his regular high school classes for most of the 2023-24 school year .

George was forced to either serve in-school suspension or spend time at an off-site disciplinary program.

The district has argued that George ’s long hair, which he wears to school in tied and twisted locs on top of his head, violates its policy.
