The Family of a Black high school student in Texas has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state's governor and attorney general, alleging they failed to enforce a new law banning discrimination based on hairstyles. The student, Darryl George, was suspended for his dreadlocks, which officials say violate the school's dress code. The family argues that the suspension violates the state's CROWN Act, which took effect on September 1. The lawsuit also claims that the governor and attorney general failed to protect George's constitutional rights. The family is seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the suspension.
