One important idea in the article is when the writer reports that, "At least 24 states have adopted similar laws that make it illegal to discriminate against students or workers because of their hairstyle." This is important because it shows that a large portion of the country is passing law to protect the cultural traditions and customs of groups who are experiencing cultural discrimination. - Ms. Beaman

A question I would pose after reading the article is, what could be the consequences to the school district if Darryl George's lawsuit results in the courts declaring that he was, in fact, discriminated against? Would the school district have to change their policies? Would they have to pay a sum of money to the George family? - Ms. Beaman

I see some of the ideas in the article connecting to the feelings of uncertainty and concern in the painting "Eve 3.6." I can imagine that Darryl George, the young man who was suspended, is having a difficult time reconciling who he wants to be culturally and who the school district is telling him to be regarding how he wears his hair. This reminds me of the dual faces in "Eve 3.6" and how that artist is conveying a lost feeing in one's identity. - Ms. Beaman

One important idea in the article is when the author stated, "Darryl was given an in-school suspension". This was important because it showed the extent the school went to discipline the student for his hair being too long. -Corinne Kalogonis

"if darryl's locs are not pinned up or pulled back, his hair falls below that length." i chose this quote because i think that hair shouldn't matter how u style it everyone has there ways or how they want to dress.

"Will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the earlobes or below the top of a T-shirt collar" I think this is important because his hair is in the rules.

"A school district spokesman, David Bloom, told The New York Times this month that the dress code was not in conflict with the CROWN Act because the code permits protective hairstyles if your hair would not go beyond the permitted length when let down," i think that this does in fact go against the crown act because they are implementing a specific rule that challenges the law(Joshua King)

One important idea in the article is when they report that, " Darryl wears his locs as an expression of cultural pride." This is important because it shows that he is proud of expressing his cultural identity and it shouldn't be a problem or matter how it should be styled. -eyan quinones

"The George family's lawsuit is seeking a temporary restraining order to stop Darryl's suspension while the case moves through the federal court." This is showing how the family is reacting.

Some of the connections I see with both the episode and the recent story is the confusion both may feel. Colin after being told to cut his hair is sort of confused and doesn't see a problem with his hair if he is just expressing his culture however, his coaches disagree and tell him to change it. In the recent story we see a similar comflcit in the interview wiht the student he seemed very confused on why his school was telling him to change his hair and suspend him fi he was just trying to express his culture. -Corinne Kalogonis

# data[].attributes.body
The lawsuit said the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, and the attorney general Ken Paxton, allowed the school to violate the Crown Act. Their offices did not immediately respond to request for comment on sunday. Mr Bloom did not respond to a request for comment

# data[].attributes.body
i would ask does this rule only apply to men because in the news clip you can see a women with her hair in a bun but that is not against the school code. And why would you need to have them put there hair down to check the length when you can see other people with there hair up

# data[].attributes.body
What were the steps or process that lead to his suspension

# data[].attributes.body
This article is connected to "Colin in black and white". Colin got braids and his baseball coaches wanted him off the team because of his hair. Now Darryl is getting suspended for his hair style.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection is this one to collin because Collin was forced to cut his hair to be able to keep playing a sport he has been playing for years and to be able to stay in school and this boy also has to cut his hair so that it is not longer but they both had it up

# data[].attributes.body
This is a connection to colin's hair when he went to his baseball game his coaches wanted him off the team and the boy went to school and got kick out.

Darryl George getting suspended for how he wants to look culturally and the school telling him how he should wear his hair. The connection I see is from the show "Colin in black and White" how Colin was getting told from his baseball coaches he would be kicked off the team if he didn't cut or change the hairstyle, and that's how he wanted to look culturally.-eyan quinones

The govenor of texas , Greg Abbott, and the attorney,Ken Paxton, allowed the school to violate the CROWN act." This quote shows that the people in power dont car and are not help to fix theses issues. They let them sweep between the cracks. This is very problematic because then thses problems and situations wont ever be fixed. -sophie

¨ He wears his locs as an expression of cultural pride ¨. I chose this quote because Darryl George is representing his cultural identity and was suspended from school because of it. Your hairstyle shouldn´t matter especially when you are trying to honor your culture.

How is a restraining order going to stop Darryl ´ s suspension while the case is being moved through the federal court?

A connection I can see between this situation and the colins story is how people that dont have any buisness controling somones hair is basically bullying Darryl/colin into changging their hair stayles to fit there perseption of "professional". It leaves thses black students to question where thwy stand culturally. -sophie

# data[].attributes.body
This article is connected to Colin in Black and White" because both Darryl and Colin both experienced dispersion from certain things because they both got their hair braided. They aren´t being given the right to embrace their cultural identity which is not fair and right. These are challenges that they had to overcome.

i see connections between the recent article and the recent eppisode. due to the both alionating the African American student due to the way they choose to wear their hair even though the way they are wearing my hair is in a cultural significant style. in both the artical and the eppisode we can see the student getting discriminated against due to the way they style theri hair but thus making them lose their oppertunity to learn at school

# data[].attributes.body
One important idea in the article is when the writer reports that, "A Black high school student in Texas who was suspended because of the way he wear his hair, along with his mother, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on Saturday against the state governor and attorney general."

# data[].attributes.body
I can connect Colin In Black And White to the story about what recently happend in Texas on how the kid wasnt allowed to wear his hair just how Colin wasnt allowed to wear his hair. Another way I can connect to these stories is how they both got in trouble one got suspended and one got an ultimatum if Coli didnt change his hair hed be kicked off the team.

Why did he get in trouble if he wasn't breaking any of the schools law ?

Will the school shut down if they lose the law suit?

They say it had nothing to do with the crown act but it obviously does so why did they lie about that in the article ?

¨ Texas said that his hair violated the district dress code , according to the lawsuit ¨. I find this interesting / importing because when we watch the news video everyone explained  how he wasnt breaking any dress code laws because his  hair wasnt passed shoulder length or passed his eyebrows but the school was defending it and saying it had nothing to do with the  crown act but that statement is obviously false it has everything to do with the crown act

The main idea in the article we read was that there was a school in Texas who suspended an African American boy (who was totally following the rules) .

# data[].attributes.body
I want to know if the school has given him warning before the suspension, But still they shouldn't have because he was still following the rules - rylee

One quote i chose from the article is "Will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the earlobes or below the top of a T-shirt collar" because why should anyone's hair appearance be in the schools rules and actually take effect.

# data[].attributes.body
One question i have for this article is why schools are still suspending people for their hair?

# data[].attributes.body
a connection between this article and Collin is that Collin had to cut his hair if he wanted to play his sport still, and just like in this article a boy has to cut his hair just to get education.

"If Darryl's locs are not pinned up or pulled back, his hair falls below that length."  This is important because this is how the suspending issue got the young boy kicked out his school. This is a main idea because,  this shows how everything unfolded.                  -Cassidy Dixon

I was overal confused why is hair an issue when it comes to learning. Hair definitely does NOT effect your school learning. And also, why does it only follow for a black male.

# data[].attributes.body
This connects to our learning of culture because as a black female myself, I know that my culture, braids are a important part of our history.
