Lot's going on here, all wrapped up in a simple question regarding who or what gets to determine the extent of individual liberty. And is liberty is being curtailed, what is the justification for it?
Here are few things to consider:
- Is the school district violating Darryl George's free expression?
- Is Darryl George undermining the ability of the high school to do its work?
- Is this really a free expression issue or is it an equal tr5eatment issue?
A few stories as background;
- Texas judge sets trial date over school's suspension of student for dreadlocks.
- Texas made it illegal to punish students for dreadlocks. A school is testing the limits of the law.
- Abbott signs into law CROWN Act banning race-based hair discrimination.
