Hair on Trial

2/12/2024

Darryl George has had a bad hair day since August. So much so, the district superintendent, Greg Pool, took out a full page ad in the Houston Chronicle that said, "being an American requires conformity."

there is no harm Darryl wearing dreadlocks to school. I dont see how a simple hairstyle could affect somebody because at the end of the day he is just expressing himself and as long as hes not doing that in an inappropriate way theres nothing wrong with that.

I agee because you do what you got to do to look presentable

N rainey 1A

2/12/2024 09:13:39 am

i agree there is no harm in what he is doing with his hair so they shouldn't be so harsh

C Da Silva 1A

2/12/2024 09:15:39 am

I agree, he is not harming anyone at all with his hair, and they're also not letting him express himself by limiting the way he can have his hair.

D.McGee 3A

3/8/2024 03:51:21 pm

I agree with this statement, because hair doesn't cause harm. It's like art and or an expression of the person.

Williams J 1A

2/12/2024 09:15:54 am

I agree there is no harm in his hair it’s just a simple known hair style

David M 1A

2/12/2024 09:17:32 am

i agree because it violate the crown act that prohibits discrimination based on hair style or texture

Lee.J 1A

2/12/2024 09:18:31 am

I agree, there's absolutely no harm in Darryl wearing dreadlocks to school. It's a form of self-expression and as long as it's not inappropriate, it shouldn't be an issue.

Shankle, A 1A

2/12/2024 09:19:12 am

I agreed that there was nothing wrong that he is wearing deadlocks to school. Its easy for him to take care of it and its away from his face that the school teacher and people can see his face. He just maybe wanted to try something new hair stly that he can take care of it and that the school will be accepted but i don't see nothing wrong with it.

Hutton A 1a

2/12/2024 09:22:21 am

see i just dont think the school should be able to control that at all. also how could hair be inappropriate?

Martinez, P 3A

2/12/2024 02:58:40 pm

I also agree school is for education not education on hair.

K. Gooch 4A

3/7/2024 06:37:49 pm

DEFINITELY AGREEE !!! They are worried about the wrong things when it comes to kids getting their education. I don’t feel like his hair is distracting anybody or stopping any learning.

A Bradley 4A

2/12/2024 03:01:34 pm

I agree, because there shouldn't be any harm. There's nothing wrong with wearing dreadlocks.

Tyren D 4A

2/12/2024 03:14:43 pm

nah frl twin I said da same thing like the way somebody hair style looks isn't distracting anybody.

Alynette Delgado 6B

2/15/2024 10:30:48 am

I agree with this person, since he did not do anything wrong he just got a new hairstyle to express themselves.

A,Martinez 7B

2/15/2024 12:17:36 pm

I agree, his hairstyle should not be getting him in trouble as it should not be seen as offensive.

K Jacinto 3A

2/16/2024 12:12:00 am

I agree, there is no disturbance when it comes to his hair

D Davis 6B

I agree because people should be able to feel comfortable with whatever hairstyle they want.

Kinlaw E 3A

3/7/2024 12:55:01 pm

I agree that a hairstyle should not affect anything. It is a form of expressing himself. He should be allowed like you said if he is not doing it in an inappropriate way.

B Jasso 3A

3/7/2024 03:02:55 pm

I agree with you, because whatever you do with your hair is up to you, you shouldn't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do with your hair.

jermaine villalobos 3A

3/7/2024 03:50:33 pm

i agree that he should be able to express himself freely while being in a lace to learn and not be harrased about his hair style

K. Gooch 4A

3/7/2024 06:35:47 pm

I agree with you because we as students should be allowed to express ourselves through our appearance.

jadian rivers 7b

I agree with this because his hair is neat and well taking care of.

Daniel Alejandro Rendon

2/12/2024 09:10:13 am

There is no harm in the way darryl has his hair in, it is not negatively affecting him or his peers, he shouldn't have to change his hair or culture so that others can feel "comfortable"

makayla cook 1a

2/12/2024 09:14:16 am

I agree if you have to shave your head do it but there is no harm to others

N rainey 1A

2/12/2024 09:14:42 am

i agree if its not hurting anyone in the school then why is the school doing that to him it's so sad

D.Mims 1a

2/12/2024 09:15:45 am

your right, if its not negitively affecting him or others then he shouldn't have to change it.

Williams J 1A

2/12/2024 09:16:41 am

I agree because what do hair have to do with the way you present yourself.

McGee D 3A

2/14/2024 12:25:35 pm

I agree because its his hair and he should be able to wear what he wants to wear.

D Davis 6B

I agree, if it isn't negatively affecting anyone then it shouldn't matter.

Spencer .S. 1A

3/7/2024 10:37:46 am

I agree, getting kicked out of school over hair is crazy… is he coming there to learn or get judged about how he portray his self?

Kinlaw E 3A

3/7/2024 12:56:33 pm

I agree that his hair is not affecting anyone in a negative way. I also do believe that he should not have to change his hairstyle at the end of the day.

B Jasso 3A

3/7/2024 03:04:30 pm

I agree with you on this. Daryl isn't hurting anyone, he's just doing what he thinks is best for himself, so they shouldn't be so harsh on him

makayla cook 1a

2/12/2024 09:12:07 am

there is no harm in wearing your hair like that if it helps keeps it tity then do It by all means don't let what others think effect you

T Gray 1A

2/12/2024 09:17:42 am

I agree because you shouldn't let others dictate what you are going to wear.

Shankle, A 1A

2/12/2024 09:21:00 am

I agreed there was nothing wrong with his hair. And it shouldn't affect other people, And there shouldn't be any problem.

Hutton A 1a

2/12/2024 09:23:25 am

yea i agree theres no harm +the hair looked clean.

J. Lira 7B

2/14/2024 09:38:51 am

Hair is a form of self expression, it should not be changed to fit into someone else's conformity. Besides, it absolutely presses no harm on anybody.

D Sparks 7B

2/16/2024 11:52:05 pm

I agree, I believe how we wear our hair is a exercise of our first amendment that gives us freedom of expression.

N rainey 1A

2/12/2024 09:12:50 am

there i no harm in him having his hair loc'd and no you shouldn't conform for others because its your hair and personality and if you are comfortable then that's the end

Alynette Delgado 6B

2/15/2024 10:32:06 am

I agree since the school should not tell him what to do with his hair.

Lee.J 1A

2/12/2024 09:12:51 am

There's really no harm in Darryl George wearing his hair loc'd. Personal expression, like how one chooses to wear their hair, is a part of individual identity and cultural heritage.As for conformity, it's a personal choice, but it shouldn't be at the expense of one's identity or comfort.

A,Martinez 7B

2/15/2024 12:19:18 pm

I agree, he should not experience consequences for expressing himself through his hairstyle.

K Jacinto 3A

2/16/2024 12:12:55 am

I agree, you can’t just do something like that to a person when it has history to it

D Sparks 7B

2/16/2024 11:53:34 pm

I believe conformity for someone’s comfort in some cases are actually needed.

J.Robinson 1a

2/12/2024 09:13:19 am

I think what the school is doing is outright wrong because why should you have to cut off your dread locs , it isn't against the law for African American people to have locs so why cut them off for some racist school.

Albiar x

2/12/2024 09:17:32 am

i agree theres nothing wrong with it it is just the people who work at the school being prejudice

M Johnson 1A

2/12/2024 09:19:30 am

I agree. The crown act was passed which made it illegal for schools to discriminate against hair.

A Bradley 4A

2/12/2024 03:10:37 pm

I agree, because there's nothing wrong with him wearing dreadlocks.

J. Lira 7B

2/14/2024 09:40:36 am

It's absolutely wrong to change the way someone expresses themselves to adjust to someone else's conformity. What the school did was entirely wrong.

M, Gibb 1A

2/16/2024 02:51:45 pm

i agree because there is no problem that his hair is causing.

D.Mims 1a

2/12/2024 09:13:44 am

There is no harm in darryl wearing his hair how HE want, nobody should change the way they look just for others.

d gomez

2/12/2024 09:21:23 am

agreed, its not anybody else decision or business how he wears his hair.

Diaz Z 1A

2/12/2024 09:14:04 am

There is no harm being done by darryl having his hair done liked that, everyone has their own preference on how they should keep their hair and that is their right. Nobody should have to conform for someone else to be comfortable this is just another way of trying to control another group of people.If “White boys can wear their hair over their ears" why cant he have his hair in dreads ?

T Gray 1A

2/12/2024 09:16:10 am

I agree because everybody does have their own look and their own style.

Devionte Manuel

2/12/2024 09:17:52 am

I agree with this as well. His hair isn’t hurting anybody and he should be able to style it anyway he chooses

Albiar X 1a

2/12/2024 09:18:34 am

i agree at the end of the day it is just hair you shouldnt make yourself unconfortable just to make others confortable

James Leslie 1A

2/12/2024 03:18:12 pm

exactly its his body and his choice to be comfrotable

D.Mims

2/12/2024 09:19:13 am

your right,there is no harm being done by darryl

C Da Silva 1A

2/12/2024 09:19:17 am

I agree because his hair isn't bothering anyone. He also shouldn't have to change the way he has his hair just to accommodate others, and should just be allowed to express himself.

A Giles 1A

2/12/2024 09:27:14 am

Exactly if they can wear their hair as they can why can't he? Everyone deals with their hair differently and he just happens to have a different hair texture.

C Da Silva 1A

2/12/2024 09:14:06 am

There should be no problem with him wearing his hair the way he wants to. He shouldn't have to change his ways just to accommodate others, especially when his hair is not harming anyone. I think the school should just change their policy and let students have their hair the way they want.

Diaz Z 1A

2/12/2024 09:15:26 am

I agree, it could be simple as the school changing the policy to avoid another situation like this. Its not like hes doing a crime it is simply hair thats his and he can choose what to do with it.

d Gomez 1a

2/12/2024 09:18:44 am

I second this; there is no way his hair could be harmful or a threat to others, the school simply does not allow him to express himself and his culture.

M Johnson 1A

2/12/2024 09:23:31 am

I agree because the policy that they have is against the law.

R Arpero 3A

2/12/2024 12:43:12 pm

I agree he should wear his hair style in his comfort not others

L Vargas 1A

2/14/2024 09:03:05 am

I can agree because why should there be restrictions on hair this in reality just makes no sense

David M 1A

2/12/2024 09:14:37 am

there's shouldn't be nothing wrong with how the kid wear his hair style because it's not causing a desecration to any one in he has the right's to wear his hair any way he choose

Devionte Manuel

2/12/2024 09:17:06 am

I agree, his hair isn’t against the schools rules and it’s not a problem. The kid shouldn’t have to change it

James Leslie 1A

2/12/2024 03:15:53 pm

I agree because they shouldnt be worried about his hair on his head especcily if its braided u and not swinging everywere.

zyan c

3/7/2024 01:56:41 pm

I completely agree with you. Darryl George should have the freedom and autonomy to express himself through his hairstyle without facing pressure or discrimination from others.

Williams J 1A

2/12/2024 09:14:42 am

You have to be comfortable in doing what’s required and fitting in with what’s going on in the daily basis.

David M 1A

2/12/2024 09:18:56 am

i agree his hair style is not bothering anyone

T Gray 1A

2/12/2024 09:14:44 am

I feel like there no harm in is hairstyle, but at the same time I feel like its about his pride and he cares what others say about him and wants others to approve of his hairstyle.

Diaz Z 1A

2/12/2024 09:18:35 am

I disagree, its not about caring about what people think. Its more of the fact how are they going to tell him to cut his hair off that probaly took time and patience to get to the point he is at, alot of people take pride in their hair

R Arpero 3A

2/12/2024 12:42:27 pm

I agree his hairstyle being like that is not affecting anyone and defenitly not harming anyone.

Shankle, A 1A

2/12/2024 09:15:01 am

There is nothing wrong with his hair and it's away from his face and he doesn't have to do anything every morning whenever he goes to school. I just don't understand what is wrong with his hair that just braided back to his head. They should feel comfortable what they have his hair braided so he don't have to worry about it.

Amalio Garcia 1A

2/12/2024 09:15:45 am

Darryl is not hurting or doing something that is affecting his classmates or the school district, his hair is in his body not nobody else’s so it’s up to him decide wether he will cut his hair to be the “conformity”. And the school they should do better get some research on the laws that protect the people of color, still trying to make whites be the norm is over.

L Vargas 1A

2/12/2024 09:21:23 am

I can agree because the schools don't sometimes second look at their rules before enforcing them towards their students and most of the time students have a problem with the schools rules and my have arguments on why they should change the rules

Sergio Morales link

2/12/2024 01:18:12 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-
Yea I can see that. I feel like maybe this school has been misinformed over the idea of culture.Perhaps they are too centered into the rules they have made, because fighting for the argument that this hair style hurts people is really sad.

M Johnson 1A

2/12/2024 09:15:50 am

I don’t think his hair is doing any harm to anyone in the school or his ability to come to school and learn like everyone else.

Jaylon Wilson 4A

2/12/2024 03:03:51 pm

I agree because his hair really aint doing nothing

A Bradley 6B

3/8/2024 10:19:56 am

I agree because his hair isn't affecting anyone in school or how they learn. His hair has nothing to do with their education.

d. gomez 1a

2/12/2024 09:15:50 am

there is nothing wrong with self expression in the form of a hairstyle. there is nothing you should have to do to yourself in order for others to feel "comfortable" around you, unless you are literally a problem and/or hurting others, but in this case he's just wearing his hair a certain way.

Jaylon Wilson 4A

2/12/2024 03:03:15 pm

I agree with that cuz it is self expression

Devionte Manuel

2/12/2024 09:15:59 am

He should be able to wear his hair however he wants. The boy shouldn’t have to wear a hairstyle he doesn’t want to make others feel more comfortable. He should be able to express himself however he wants whether it be through his hair or his fashion it shouldn’t be a problem.

M, Gibb 1A

2/16/2024 02:47:25 pm

i agree with you he should be able to express himself whatever way he wants.

N Jones 1A

3/7/2024 01:26:38 pm

Facts its crazy how everyone but him can express themselves

L Vargas 1A

2/12/2024 09:16:27 am

I feel that Darryl has every right to have any hair style that he wants but if there are restrictions towards someone hairstyle that in reality makes no sense to any person reading the school's rules.

J Robinson 1a

2/12/2024 09:16:57 am

I feel like if he isn't causing any harm to the school why should he have to cut his locs off , his locs is just another way that he expresses his American culture.

N Jones 1a

2/12/2024 09:18:30 am

It isnt any harm in darryl having locs and I dont get how a hairstyle affect others but as a male with locs people stop and stereotype me as well and it isnt anything but expression ourselves through our hair.

Stewart.z

2/12/2024 03:17:05 pm

I agree because what's on his head isn´t bothering anyone.

A Giles 1A

2/12/2024 09:18:33 am

I feel like he should have never been in this situation in the first place. Everyone has their own religion and or culture that they live up to. Espescially nowadays the US has much more culture and diversity. Not saying it is in the greatest condition but considering that we have so many different cultures and or religions I feel like you need to think of that before you have a school law stating what you can and cannot do.I get it maybe if it was the length but just the style it makes no sense.

A. Green 8b

2/15/2024 11:53:40 pm

The US does have a lot of different cultures and that's what so many people put their "pride" in. It really doesn't make any sense for their to be a school policy banning cultured hair. However I have to disagree with you on it being okay for the length. Even if you dislike men having long hair (which is insane in my opinion), there are some cultures and religions that prevent the people to cut their hair.

N Jones 1A

3/7/2024 01:25:09 pm

I agree hair is a culture thing

J. Lira 7B

2/12/2024 09:18:35 am

There is absolutely no harm in the way students express themselves, if a student's dress code is what you focus on, then it shows where your values are. Self expression should be based on how YOU feel, not the opinions of others. You shouldn't have to change your appearance to give comfort to others. If something is hurting you or others, then that's when a change should be made.

Sergio Morales link

2/12/2024 01:11:00 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-
Yea if it's a genuine problem, changes should be made, but for hair? That's ridiculous.

J. Kinard (4A)

2/12/2024 03:02:04 pm

Absolutely. Self-expression is an art, something to be shown. It shouldn't be stifled by those who are stuck in the past.

J. Kamtala 4A

2/14/2024 10:40:53 am

I agree, since Darryl's appearance isn't hurting or damaging anyone, he shouldn't be forced to change it. I think that since Darryl doesn't look like them, they think it is wrong.

Hutton A 1a

2/12/2024 09:19:46 am

Theres no harm in him wearing his hair that way. what does it do to the other students? Not a damn thing. so no he shouldnt change any thing leave him be. Me personaly i wouldnt change it.

George A 4A

2/12/2024 03:15:14 pm

I agree why does the hair on another person´s head cause the interest or worry of someone else if they do not like it just do not pay attention to it.

C Valdez 1A

2/12/2024 11:11:59 am

I think Darryl should be allowed to have his hair loc'd because there's nothing wrong with having it that way and it doesn't distract or affect anyone for him to have it that way. I think it's wrong that he's being suspended and being threatened with an expulsion from the school just for having his hair like that when it's in code. I think Poole and the school is in the wrong because from the pictures Darryl's hair is short and natural so I don't think he should be told not to have his hair the way he wants.

George A 4A

2/12/2024 03:14:17 pm

I agree the hair does not distract anything and he should have the freedom to express himself with his hairstyle the way everyone else does .

J. Kamtala 1A

2/13/2024 11:04:02 am

I agree, the school has no right to suspend or expel a kid just because they don't like the way they styled their hair. Especially because there is a law that is against discrimination of these hairstyles.

R Arpero 3A

2/12/2024 12:41:41 pm

Darryl should not have to change his hairstyle in any type of way just because other thinks its uncomfortable. It shouldn't be anyone's business how he wants to have it and express it.

Brooks,Travis

2/12/2024 01:23:38 pm

I agree, people should mind their business

Dontae Eley

2/12/2024 03:44:54 pm

I believe this can be said to be a bit hypocritical as the hairstyle can definitely be a cultural thing, and the school is talking about being considerate, but they arent at all.

Nicholas Parker 7B

2/13/2024 11:04:32 am

I agree with your comment

D.Hurth

2/12/2024 12:43:08 pm

There is no harm being done in Darryl having his hair locked and in barrel twist. I dont see how this could distract or harm fellow classmates or teachers.

Smith N 3a

2/15/2024 02:14:48 pm

me either for real they are just trying to pick on dude lowkey

Sergio Morales link

2/12/2024 01:09:04 pm

Sergio Morales-3A
I mean I don't see the harm in the hair style, and it has no reason to, but if the school finds it offensive which doesn't really make sense then maybe they are trying to suspend him for other reasons...and it would have no relation to the hair style. As for if you should conform to make others feel comfortable, sure but In a healthy, logical way. Not over hair.

J. Kinard (4A)

2/12/2024 03:00:42 pm

Indeed. It seems as if the school is being racist towards Darryl.

A. Green 8b

2/15/2024 11:49:17 pm

I find the idea that you think there may be another reason that they are suspending him. That is very interesting and maybe they have been waiting for him to "slip up". I also agree that a hair style is an insane reason to suspend someone. When you say conform in a healthy way, do you mean acting in a certain way?

Contreras M 6B

2/15/2024 11:59:33 pm

The school is trying to find a reason to get him in trouble. However he is doing nothing wrong. It should not make people uncomfortable.

Brooks, Travis

2/12/2024 01:21:37 pm

I feel there is no harm in Darryl wearing the hairstyle he likes to school. I don't see how a hairstyle could be bad in any type of way. He is free to choose w/e hairstyle he feel.

Stewart.z

2/12/2024 03:13:44 pm

I agree because you should wear whatever you feel cute and comfortable with.

Dontae Eley

2/12/2024 03:43:54 pm

His hair is not bad at all. The signs of this purely being malicious is written all over the case.

Nicholas Parker 7B

2/13/2024 11:02:47 am

I agree with your statement, there is no harm done.

C. Deane 6B

2/13/2024 09:38:18 pm

I agree I don't think that this should have attracted so much attention in the first.

Smith N 3a

2/15/2024 02:14:00 pm

I agree dude should be able to wear his hair however he wants

There is absolutely no harm in having locs, no matter what the context is or who the wearer is around. Locs not only hold cultural significance, but look pretty good. It's like telling a Caucasian man they can only have a buzzcut. It's bizarre, isn't it?

C. Deane 6B

2/13/2024 09:35:24 pm

I agree with you because, i think there is no harming taking place to anyone.

Natalee Sears 7B

2/15/2024 12:23:40 pm

I agree with this because there is no harm being done because of his hair. There's no reason people are telling him that his hair is harming his environment.

R, Brown 7B

2/15/2024 12:25:31 pm

Yeah it really is bizarre. It's insane for people to say black people need to change their hair because it makes others uncomfortable when people with finer hair aren't ever told a thing about theirs.

Romello G

There is no harm in him wearing his hairlike that to school its his choice and free choice and he should be able to do what every he wants with his hair

Jaylon Wilson 4A

2/12/2024 03:02:21 pm

i dont think he did nothing wrong and i dont think he should have to take it down

Martinez, P 3A

2/12/2024 03:03:29 pm

First of all, Who are you to tell a student how to act dress, speak or dress/hair ? you're only obligated to educate us! not policing us. It's 2024 a whole new generation at that. just do your job and teach us.

Tyren D 4A

2/12/2024 03:06:31 pm

I feel like dat lil nigga aint hurt nobody so why are they messing with him like das dry day need to worry about things that are actually messing up there schools not just no dress code

A Bradley 4A

2/12/2024 03:06:33 pm

There shouldn't be any harm for him wearing anything he wants to school unless there's something inappropriate. I don't understand how these people think there's something wrong with wearing dreadlocks.

L Speed 1A

2/14/2024 09:04:16 am

I agree his hair wasn't doing any harm too no one

James Leslie 1A

2/12/2024 03:07:02 pm

I think people need to stop worrying about what is on somebody elses body. Hair is hair they wouldnt say anything to an white person with locs

Stewart.Z

2/12/2024 03:09:04 pm

I feel like nobody can tell you how to wear your hair because you don´t see no black people telling white people how to wear their hair.

J. RockwellI 3a

2/14/2024 10:37:36 am

see you just making shit racist

T Samuels 6b

2/15/2024 11:01:27 am

I agree, because we don’t go around telling people to cut off their mullets.

George Arellano 4A

2/12/2024 03:09:27 pm

He should not have to conform to people by changing his hairstyle. A hairstyle making a person uncomfortable seems so illogical. This is without a doubt an infringement of his civil rights, why should he have to cut his dreadlocks for the benefit of other people.

J. Kamtala 1A

2/12/2024 03:18:23 pm

Darryl is causing no harm by wearing his hair in locs. The people who are saying otherwise are just racist and shouldn't be in such a position. I also think that since these white people are racist they want to find a reason to punish a black student.

A Bethany 7b

2/15/2024 09:59:06 am

I agree I believe it is also a race thing.

Contreras M 6B

2/15/2024 11:58:16 pm

I agree he caused no harm. The people in the school should not be in charge. Because at the end of the day no one is being affected by hair.

Z.woods 6b

3/8/2024 12:44:26 pm

I agree, the system is racist he should be able to freely express himself through his hair it's not causing anyone harm.

Dontae Eley 8B

2/12/2024 03:42:03 pm

I believe his hair is completely fine, and racism is at play here. His hair is tied up, and isnt hurting anyone at all. I believe conforming to make others feel more comfortable isn't a bad idea for the most part as there are lines that need to be drawn. These people are most certainly not bothered by the hair. I believe they are trying to be malicous.

L Speed 1A

2/14/2024 09:07:14 am

I agree some type of racism is included in all of this

R, Brown 7B

2/15/2024 12:30:20 pm

Your response says a lot in itself. Would you change yourself to make your community happy? Even if it meant you lost one of the things that make you you. If not, then why state "that conforming to make others feel more comfortable isn't a bad idea." I just don't agree with your statement honestly.

Johnson M 1A 2

2/15/2024 04:50:00 pm

The fact that while following these rules that the principle has put in place and being told that it is wrong makes no sense to me. He is doing what he is told, and then is told that it is wrong.

Nicholas P 7B

2/13/2024 11:01:03 am

I personally think there is no harm done by this guy wearing his hair in a loc style, maybe others are jealous of the fact his hair can be put into that hairstyle.

J Deleon 6B

2/15/2024 10:25:50 am

Agreed because of how well his har was taken care of his friends and teachers shouldn't have even had a problem with it, the more people seem to say its wrong the lighter the room gets

C. Deane 6B

2/13/2024 09:30:05 pm

I think there is no harm done by him having his dreadlocks in school nor is is a distraction to anyone.

Madi Snyder 6B

2/15/2024 11:03:57 am

I agree. It is the same thing as dress code. We (does not matter race or gender) should be able to express ourselves in our own ways. We can not just be molded in to how other people want us to be. These things are happening all the time and yet I hear almost no one talking about it or wanting to make a change to these ways.

M Roberson 8B

2/15/2024 11:58:32 pm

I agree with what you said. I see no problem with his hairstyle. I think that he should keep his hair styled the way he pleases.

L Speed 1A

2/14/2024 09:02:01 am

His hairstyle is not a problem. It's something wrong with the school he goes to.

J. RockwellI 3a

2/14/2024 10:37:11 am

straight bars

J Deleon 6B

2/15/2024 10:22:55 am

Agreed because his hair looks good and taken care of it should not be a reason for it to cause a problem at any school.

Sanchez 6

2/15/2024 07:15:18 pm

I agree their creating a problem just because of the haircut he has which makes no sense whatsoever

J. RockwellI 3a

2/14/2024 10:36:51 am

i see what the issue is but it is just hair t the end of the day shit fuck mu hair i would have just cut it

A Bethany

2/15/2024 09:57:58 am

To people, especially african americans, it is a big of a deal. A student is being treated differently because the way he chooses to wear his hair. Thats like slavery all over again.

T Samuels 6b

2/15/2024 10:55:24 am

I completely agree with you because you should not just target a student just because they want to wear their hair a certain way.

george kessebeh

2/15/2024 01:04:12 pm

Facts the white man shouldnt make a decision for me about my hair or anything on my body

A. Bethany 7b

2/15/2024 09:56:46 am

There is no harm in him wearing his hair loc’d. I believe that no one should conform to make others comfortable because that defeats the fact that this is a free country.

J.Deleon 6B

2/15/2024 10:22:12 am

I dont think there is anything wrong with his hair there is a proble with the school he is going too, its obvious his hair looks taken care of and well they are just lookin for something to say for their racist actions.

Madi Snyder 6B

2/15/2024 11:02:00 am

I think people should be educated and exposed to different styles that others like to wear. I think the reason why so many people feel the need to limit the expression is not only about race but about fear.

M Roberson 8B

2/15/2024 11:57:18 pm

I agree with what you said. I think the school policy is outdated. His locs are neatly put up.

C.Lott3A

2/16/2024 09:38:24 am

I agree, I think people should be educated and exposed to different styles that others like to wear. I think the reason why so many people feel the need to limit the expression is not only about race but about fear.

T Samuels 6b

2/15/2024 10:24:50 am

Forcing Darryl George to change his hair goes against his cultural identity and self-expression. Superintendent Greg Pool's statement about conformity undermines America's diversity and freedom of expression. It's important to embrace diversity and not expect individuals to conform to harmful standards that erase their identity.

Alynette Delgado 6B

2/15/2024 10:29:06 am

I think that he should be able to do whatever he wants with his hair, it is his own hair and also hair does not distract people nor is inappropriate in any form. He also should not change his hair just to make other people feel more comfortable he can do whatever he wants.

Natalee Sears 7B

2/15/2024 12:22:25 pm

I agree with this because he doesn't need to change his hair for the people around him. He can do what makes him feel comfortable with who he is.

Madi Snyder 6B

2/15/2024 10:59:57 am

Hair is a way for people all over to express themselves. No body should ever be kicked out of school or exiled for having hair the way they want it. He should not change how he looks to conform to the others around him.

Natalee Sears 7B

2/15/2024 12:21:09 pm

His hair is causing no harm to anyone around him. People should be able to do anything they want with their hair because it's a way they express themselves and it makes them feel more like themselves. He does not have to change his hair to please anyone. It's the way he likes it, it is his hair. He can do whatever makes him feel comfortable in his own skin

R, Brown 7B

2/15/2024 12:21:59 pm

There is no harm in Darryl George wearing his hair loc'd up and black people should not have to conform to make others feel comfortable. I am a firm believer in a person being allowed to do whatever they want with their hair. If a person feels uncomfortable with a person's hair then they can remove themselves from the situation. They can cite their grievances about it but at the end of the day you can always walk away if you feel uncomfortable. Lastly, why should POC change their hair if white people are getting perms, and box braids to be like them. The audacity and hypocrisy is ridiculous.

A,Martinez 7B

2/15/2024 12:23:25 pm

There is no reason someone should be getting in trouble for having an expressive hairstyle, especially if it is respectful and appropriate. Wearing your hair the way you want should not get you kicked out of school if it is not hurting anyone. Someone should not have to change who they are or how they present themselves just because someone doesn't like it.

C.Ramirez 3A

2/16/2024 02:37:03 am

I agree someone shouldnt change the way they are just because people feel uncomfortable about it. We are all human beings and we are all different.

R Rinehart 6B

3/8/2024 10:52:14 am

Completely agree, the hair on someones head cannot hurt you and anyone should have it the way they want.

George Kessebeh

2/15/2024 12:44:50 pm

There is no harm for having dreads because i have dreads and my dreads dont bother anybody it gets me compliments .

Smith N 3a

2/15/2024 02:09:55 pm

Im glad he didnt cut his hair to conform to the abnormal standard of his school. In my opinion someones hair style shouldnt make some else uncomfortable because theyre going to wear is how ever they want regardless of how you feel about it. So why worry about it in the first place

Johnson M 1A 2

2/15/2024 04:31:49 pm

A hairstyle does not affect his or other people's learning. He shouldn't have to do anything to his hair in order to make other's feel comfortable with him.

Sanchez 6

2/15/2024 07:12:57 pm

I agree Instead of fixating on students' haircuts, I believe it's more important for schools to concentrate on improving the overall environment for their students

Johnson M 1A 2

2/15/2024 04:29:03 pm

Darrly's hair is not doing any harm to the staff or his peers. He is following the rules in the handbook regarding hair. I feel as though you shouldn't have to conform to other people. As long as rules are in place to follow, then you should be fine. He didn't do anything.

Sanchez 6b

2/15/2024 07:10:00 pm

I think it's ridiculous to create a problem just because of someone's hair. Some people have a tendency to dislike others and they'll grasp at anything to feel superior, but it only makes them look pathetic in reality.

Spencer .S. 1A

3/7/2024 10:27:42 am

I agree, people try to make a big deal over something that was so unnecessary

D.Hurth

3/7/2024 01:25:27 pm

I agree, this is just a way of them to flaunt their power . This incident shouldn’t even have made it that far in court but the school was just to power hungry.

A. Green 8b

2/15/2024 11:46:56 pm

He did nothing wrong. A hairstyle is a way to express yourself and it is also apart of your culture. He should not be punished for being himself and he should not be forced to conform to societies standards. The idea of conformity is rooted in racism and sexism.

C.Lott3A

2/16/2024 09:36:41 am

I agree Instead of fixating on students' haircuts, I believe it's more important for schools to concentrate on improving the overall environment for their students to get an education for a better future

D. Costilla 4A

3/7/2024 03:11:39 pm

I also believe one should be able to express themselves how they want. It's hard to wrap my heart around the fact that this is actually something that happened in the world. It's sad to see these things happen. And the fact that it was at school, makes it even worse. It's not like his loc's were causing trouble in his learning, it's hair. Him getting suspended for wearing loc's is just tremendously sad and unfair.

Contreras M 6B

2/15/2024 11:54:59 pm

Theres no reason as to why the way a student has their hair done affects their learning. The article points out the fact that white boys are able to wear their hair way past their ears and its fine. However they treat black students differently.

M Roberson 8B

2/15/2024 11:56:31 pm

I feel as if there is nothing wrong with his hair. I don't think his hair will effect his or his peers'learning. I also think that he should be able to wear his hair how he likes.

C.Ramirez 3A

2/16/2024 02:42:50 am

His hair isnt one bit distacing its just a normal hairstyle so I agree there is nothing wrong with his hair and he shouldnt be forced to change it.

K Jacinto 3A

2/16/2024 12:16:12 am

I find no harm or anything wrong with Mr.Georges hair. No he doesn’t need to do anything with himself to make his peers comfortable. His lifestyle should suite himself not the feeling of others. This is plainly wrong.

D Cruz 3A

3/7/2024 01:04:32 pm

Agreed. I believe that Darryl letting go of his hair would be a waste of time and effort he spent on it. His hair shouldn't be something that makes others uncomfortable, he is perfectly fine.

D Lopez 3a

3/7/2024 01:48:00 pm

I agree, he is perfectly fine and doesn't need to change anything about himself. his hair isn't affecting anyone so therefore the hair shouldn't be a problem.

C.Cofield 3A

3/7/2024 01:59:10 pm

I can wholeheartedly agree with you on this point. I feel like he doesn't have to change something about his appearance just because someone doesn't like it. If that is the case then a lot of people would have to start changing things.

C.Ramirez 3A

2/16/2024 02:30:01 am

There is no harm in the use of the hairstyle Darryl has. I find it distateful that people would come out and say he needs to conform to societies messed up views on what is right or wrong for hair. Unless it is hurting people he should be allowed to have what ever hair style he desires. A lot of the rules now days against African American hair styles or any protective hair styles for people of curly hair derive from racism and discrimination. People use "being professional" or "looking presentable" as an excuse to make others feel ashamed for their hair type and hair styles. Curly hair cannot be treated the same as those who have straight or "presentable" hair types. It would not only segregate a whole community to abide by these rules but it would be unfair and harmful for people with curly to try and conform to hair styles racist people find "comfortable" or "acceptable".

E Martinez 1A

3/7/2024 06:50:07 pm

I agree because just because of there skin color they shouldnt be judged and have to change anything for anyone

C.Lott3A

2/16/2024 09:34:50 am

D.Hurth

3/7/2024 01:23:57 pm

I agree, this is just another way to hinder people of color. there is 0 harm by his hair being the way it is

M, Gibb 1A

2/16/2024 01:34:25 pm

I think that the hair shouldn't matter as long as they are in a good learning space because what is hair doing to people to make them uncomfortable. I don't think hair could be a distraction because it is on your head and other people's head it isn't really something people will talk about. Also hair can be difficult to control so it one style can't for all hair types. So I promise you people will be fine with it and they would be comfortable.

starr kandice 1a

3/7/2024 09:49:27 am

I agree with this 100% because why would someone go around taking about someone elses head. Hair can be really diffucult to control even his type of hair so people should just let it be and embrace it

D Davis 6B

2/16/2024 07:06:16 pm

There is really no harm with the way he has his hair. I don't think it has a single effect on his or his peers learning.

R Rinehart 6B

3/8/2024 10:48:39 am

Cooooooompletely agree, my hair does not affect you and I can look the way I want.

D Sparks 7B

2/16/2024 11:58:23 pm

There is no harm in Darryl wearing his hair like this and if it is so called harming someone it is because they are prejudice. Conformity should not be due to one’s feeling of comfort, but rules are made to be followed and if you don’t want to then that is a choice you make. However, this rule created is absurd and should not be followed, so conformity in this case would be demeaning to someone’s character.

z swain 3a

3/7/2024 02:44:09 pm

I agree the principle is definitely concerning when it comes to different races i know its a couple white student with they hair on their back

A Bradley 6B

3/8/2024 10:21:15 am

I agree that rules are made to be followed and that this rule also is very unfair because it targets him and others with that hairstyle specifically and is not fair.

starr Kandice 1A

3/7/2024 09:47:43 am

There is nothing wrong with his hair and what he has done with it. I feel like his hair isn't a distraction and if it is to only one person then that is bullying because his hair looks perfect the way it is. He is also showing his character and culture through his hair

D Cruz 3A

3/7/2024 12:57:18 pm

I feel the same way. His locs show a sense of his own style(character). I don’t think he should have to let go of his hairstyle that takes time to grow out just because the district’s superintendent is being petty. I personally feel like this is a racial thing.

A, Martinez 6B

3/8/2024 11:06:21 am

its good for him to express himself and people telling him to not to have his hair that way could lead to lack of confidence

Spencer .S. 1A

3/7/2024 10:19:12 am

I feel like it’s no harm in him wearing his hair how he wants, he not walking around telling people how they have to wear their hair. His hair is neat and loc’d up, I don’t see how it’s causing any harm. I don’t think nobody should change how they look or feel just to make somebody else feel good about themselves.

D Lopez 3a

3/7/2024 01:46:17 pm

I agree, no one should ever change how they look especially when it comes down to some hairstyle. No learning is affected.

Eduardo m 3a

3/7/2024 02:06:42 pm

I agree with you. I'm sure he minds his business and pays attention to what's necessary. There's nothing wrong with styling your hair the way you prefer it to.

Q sanders 3A

3/7/2024 03:05:14 pm

I agree I don't see the harm at all also especially if it is apart of his culture and how he resembles/expresses his self

Jaylon Wilson 4A

3/7/2024 03:22:42 pm

i agree because theres no harm to what he's doing

Z.woods 6b

3/8/2024 12:42:31 pm

I agree, no one should have change themselves just to make the next person comfortable.

D Cruz 3A

3/7/2024 12:42:32 pm

I do not believe that there is any issue with Darryl’s hair. It should be his decision to do his hair how he pleases as long as it’s not actually threatening and distracting. His hair looks put together in the style that he has. He’s showing his lifestyle and culture with his hair because it’s rare that people beyond African Americans loc up their hair.

Kinlaw E 3A

3/7/2024 12:52:57 pm

There is no harm in Darryl wearing his hair like that because it does not affect anybody. His hair is not distracting or should make anyone feel uncomfortable. I believe he is expressing himself and should be allowed to wear his hair how he feels regardless of the rules.

D. Costilla 4A

3/7/2024 03:02:37 pm

I heavily agree with the fact that he should be able to express himself the way he wants to. Him having his hair loc'd should not even be any problem at all. Like you said it's not affect anyone at all.

D.Hurth

3/7/2024 01:22:06 pm

I believe the school officials are just on a power trip. There is absolutely no harm being done by having his hair a certain way . And then forcing him to cut it off is a silence of his culture , character , and maybe even religion.

zyan c

3/7/2024 01:54:45 pm

I completely agree with your statement that the school officials seem to be abusing their power and unfairly targeting Darryl George for his hairstyle. It is unacceptable to force someone to change a aspect of their identity, such as their hair.

D Lopez 3a

3/7/2024 01:44:07 pm

There is no absolute harm in Darryl wearing his hair like that. It doesn't harm anyone if he has his hair like that. it doesn't affect learning or anyone in general over some hairstyle. Any hairstyle shouldn't matter when it comes down to it but this is definitely a racial thing no doubt about it.

z swain 3a

3/7/2024 02:42:30 pm

I agree he wasn't harming the learning of the class room he should be allowed to attend classes

jermaine villalobos 3A

3/7/2024 03:49:41 pm

yes i agree especially since he causes no harm and no one around him has no problem with it

C.Cofield 3A

3/7/2024 01:52:52 pm

I believe that Darryl's hair caused no harm to any other student or any other person inside of the school. If his hair doesn't cause harm to any of those who were worried about it why should he be expelled. Who cares about what he had on his head its his head and as long as he likes it its more than okay. In My Opinion...

Eduardo m 3a

3/7/2024 02:05:02 pm

I agree. I dont think his hair was causing any harm to anybody and its 100% just a racist school trying to expel a colored student.

Jaylon Wilson 4A

3/7/2024 03:21:54 pm

i agree because he just another black man trying to go to school and get his education

jaylen hill

3/7/2024 03:40:24 pm

i agree he not bothering nobody

Zyan C

3/7/2024 01:52:57 pm

It is concerning that Darryl George is being targeted and publicly criticized for wearing his hair loc'd, a hairstyle that is an important aspect of his identity and cultural heritage.

N parker 7B

3/8/2024 09:27:47 pm

I agree with what you said, he is being targeted by his hair. i think it is a form of jealousy.

Eduardo m 3a

3/7/2024 02:04:30 pm

This is simply just a racist case. The school is simply trying to kick the black student out and bring up whatever reason they can to hold him accountable. I do not know how his hair could possibly cause harm to other students and I'm definitely sure that his family is just as enraged as any other "normal" person would be.

Q sanders 3A

3/7/2024 03:03:32 pm

I agree I feel like the board pulled a major power trip over the student and there was no need for that too happen

z swain 3a

3/7/2024 02:40:55 pm

To be honest he could’ve just went to a different school I understand his situation might not be the best to just transfer schools but he says he cares about his education and the way he wear his hair isn't going to get him a degree or a free pass to get through school although it is wrong and he should be entitled to wear his hair how ever he wants he is never going to win

D. Costilla 4A

3/7/2024 02:59:25 pm

I don't see any harm with Darryl wearing his hair loc'd, And I find it very unfair with the teacher that suspended him for having his hair locked. I believe the teacher justifying himself by saying, “being American requires conformity," is honestly one of the dumbest things iv'e ever heard. There's no justification for being a racist. Everyone should have the freedom to wear their hair how they like it, and no one should say otherwise.

Q Sanders 3A

3/7/2024 03:02:38 pm

I feel the board having a problem with him having locs in his hair is more of a power trip because i dont see a problem its culture and how he expresses himself

B Jasso 3A

3/7/2024 03:07:01 pm

I think is a racist case, how is it that a black man can't wear a simple hairstyle, there's people out there where locks can be for religious purposes or to remember someone. Everyone can do whatever they want with their hair, people should be able to do whatever they want with their hair, but there's always that one person that has to criticize everything about someone, probably because they're jealous of what the other person has.

jaylen hill 3a

3/7/2024 03:39:41 pm

i agree race has a strong impact on this

M. Moore 8B

3/8/2024 03:02:11 pm

I agree, people should be aloud to express themselves with their hair. Want to wear your hair a different way is perfectly okay, and shouldn't be something, someone as a child should have to change or go through.

C Nwachukwu 7B

3/8/2024 09:46:52 pm

I agree on that jealousy part because african Americans are a dominant race and not many of us realize that and it all eventually comes down to racism.

I see no problem with this besides the school being a bully to this young mans culture and his way to express himself in the ways he wants to and in this point its his hair.

The boy wasn't harming anyone with his hair then there should be no problem at all if he isn't harming anyone.

i agree there is nothing harming or unsettling about the hairstyle so there shouldńt be a problem

I think them getting into him about his hair is silly business. School is for learning and his hair isn’t stoping anyone from doing so. I like how he decided to accept his punishment in order to still express himself through something he likes(his hair).

I agree because there's point and certain age where anyone should be able to do what they want with their hair.

There is no harm in Darryl wearing his hair like that. I don't think he should have to change his hair to make others feel comfortable because the rules are specifically targeting him and is not fair because not everyone gets affected.

There is a law that lets him wear his hair the way it is now. I don't know how they don't see how they go against it.

A hairstyle does not hurt anyone, he was simply expressing himself and his style.

I agree with this because its is choice and his right to wear HIS hair as he pleases

A, Martinez 6B

Like makeup, piercings, and tattoo's how a person styles their hair is a sign of self expression and should not be shamed nor denied

Expressing ourselves shouldn't be such a problem. We are teens find out ourselves and becoming comfortable. We shouldn't be suspended for our hair.

I see no problem with him wearing his hair like that. How does his hairstyle make someone uncomfortable. If he was white they would label it as "cool".

M. Moore 8B

I agree, his hairstyle has no issue and shouldn't be changed to please others.

jadian rivers 7b

I agree with this because there is no harm in his choice of hair style as long as his hair is neat and taking care of why are they treating him different for having different hair

A hairstyle doesn't hurt anyone this is plain modern day racism

Nothing is wrong with the boys hair, yes it is long, but it is put up and tamed. This makes his hair not a distraction. I don't think this child should have to change who he is for others, especially because his hair makes him who he is. Schools should not force it's students to not stand out, or be creative, no one want's to be a robot.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 8b

I have no clue how his hair is making students uncomfortable. It's hair. There is a law for him to be able to wear his hair the way he wants.

there is no harm Darryl wearing dreadlocks to school I don't see what's so wrong with him wearing that hairstyle I feel like it is racially motivated
and I feel like a lot of racist stuff going on

I believe that nothing is wrong with the style the boy has, i do not think this harms anyone in anyway. And it doesn’t effect education.

M.Evbuomwan 8b

the hair style doesnt disrupt he´s education so i dont see why it is an issue. laws like the crown act which prohibits this kind of discrimitaion should be in place in all states to protect individuals.

Him wearing his hair like that isn't harming anyone. In fact, it's just discrimination at this point. Things like are why some parents like mine don't let their kids wear certain styles!
