A federal judge has denied a request by Darryl George, a Black high school student in Texas, for a court order that his lawyers say would have allowed him to return to his high school without fear of having his previous punishment over his hairstyle resume. George was previously suspended for violating the school's dress code due to his hairstyle, which the school claims is too long. The judge's decision means George may face continued disciplinary action if he returns to school with the same hairstyle.
