The district filed a lawsuit arguing George's long hair, which he wears in tied and twisted locs on top of his head, violates its dress code policy because it would fall below his shirt collar, eyebrows or earlobes when let down.
Darryl George said 'it was just sad' that the school district was punishing him over his hairstyle. He said his hair is 'how I feel closer to my people. It's how I feel closer to my ancestors. It's just me. It's how I am.'
