a\u00a0black high school student\u00a0in Texas for a court order that the student\u2019s lawyers say would have allowed him to return to his high school without fear of having his previous punishment

reenroll\u00a0at his Houston-area high school in the Barbers Hill school district after leaving at the start of his senior year in August because district officials were set to continue\u00a0punishing him\u00a0for not cutting his hair. <\/p>\n<p>George had spent nearly all of his junior year\u00a0serving in-school suspension\u00a0over his hairstyle.<\/p>\n<p>The district has argued that George\u2019s long hair, which he wears to school in tied and twisted locs on top of his head, violates its policy because if let down, it would fall below his shirt collar, eyebrows or earlobes.<\/p>\n<p>George, 19, had asked U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown in Galveston to issue a temporary restraining order that would have prevented district officials from further punishing him if he returned and while a federal lawsuit he filed proceeds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image

Friday denied Darryl George\u2019s request for a court order that the student\u2019s lawyers say would\u2019ve allowed him to return to his school without the fear of having his previous punishment over his hairstyle resume. <span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But in a ruling issued late Friday afternoon, Brown denied George\u2019s request, saying the student and his lawyers had waited too long to ask for the order.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>George\u2019s request had come after Brown in August\u00a0dismissed most of the claims\u00a0the student and his mother had filed in their federal lawsuit alleging school district officials committed racial and gender discrimination when they punished him.<\/p>\n<p>The judge only let the gender discrimination claim stand.<\/p>\n<p>In his ruling, Brown said he also denied George\u2019s request for a temporary restraining order because the school district was more likely to prevail in the lawsuit\u2019s remaining claim.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter aligncenter

an attorney for George, and a spokesperson for the Barbers Hill school district did not immediately return a call or email seeking comment.<\/p>\n<p>George\u2019s lawyer had said the student left Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu and transferred to another high school in a different Houston area district after suffering a nervous breakdown over the thought of facing another year of punishment.<\/p>\n<p>In court documents filed this week, attorneys for the school district said <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/02\/22\/us-news\/texas-school-legally-punished-black-student-over-hairstyle-judge-says\/\">George didn\u2019t have<\/a> legal standing to request the restraining order because he is no longer a student in the district.<\/p>\n<p>The district has defended its dress code, which says its policies for students are meant to \u201cteach grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards and teach respect for authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>George\u2019s federal lawsuit also alleged that his punishment violates the\u00a0CROWN Act, a recent state law prohibiting race-based discrimination of hair. <\/p>\n<p>The CROWN Act, which was being discussed before the dispute over George\u2019s hair and which took effect in September 2023, bars employers and schools from penalizing people because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including Afros, braids, locs, twists or Bantu knots.<\/p>\n<p>In February, a\u00a0state judge ruled\u00a0in a lawsuit filed by the school district that its punishment does not violate the CROWN Act.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async
