school uniforms

Darryl George, an 18-year-old high school junior, stands outside a courthouse in Anahuac, Texas, on Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2024, following a court hearing over whether his Houston-area school district can continue to punish him for refusing to change his hairstyle. For as long as schools have policed hairstyles as part of their dress codes, some students have seen the rules as attempts to deny their cultural and religious identities. To school administrators, strict dress codes can be tools for promoting uniformity and discipline. Photo credit: Lekan Oyekanmi, The Associated Press
