It's anti-trans legislation pretending to be school rules.

Well in this case it's actually racist with the side-effect of being transphobic. A Republican wet dream

When you're a bigoted fascist, you take what you can get.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A Texas judge ruled Thursday that the state’s CROWN Act does not make it unlawful for school dress codes to limit a student’s hair length.

Matthews said that George will continue to serve in-school suspension and that his attorneys plan to file for an injunction in an upcoming federal civil rights lawsuit.

We will continue to speak truth to power,” Reynolds said, adding that if George’s appeal is unsuccessful lawmakers will file new legislation that will include hair length.

George and his family have also filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against school officials and Texas state leaders, including Gov.

In January, Poole placed a full page ad in the Houston Chronicle, arguing that “being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity,” CNN previously reported.

“Barbers Hill ISD will continue to make decisions to protect and fight for the rights of its community to set the standards and expectations for our school district even if that path takes us to the U.S. Supreme Court,” he wrote in the ad.
