Black students of Barbers Hill Independent School District wear their natural hair in locs as an outward expression of their Black identity and culture. When the students’ locs grew long, the district advised them that they would need to cut their locs to comply with the district’s hair length policy. Seeking to maintain their culturally significant hair styles, the students refused. Had the students been female, their hair would not have run afoul of the district’s hair length policy. But because they are male, the district disciplined them for noncompliance
