One of the objects I got was restaurant recommendation. I went out to the building next door and met a friend her name is Sara Maruffo. She is a Junior here at Morningside. A fun fact about Sara is that she is from Venezuela and was part of the Morningside Women’s Lacrosse team.

She told me to try out her favorite Mexican restaurant called Los Robles. She said it was her favorite because “It’s really authentic and cheap”. She also said that they have a variety of options on there menu as well as very friendly staff.

After our conversation Sara introduced me to one of her good friends Aureana. Aure is from Vegas and is also a Junior on the Volleyball team. She recommended blue tequila because they have her favorite margaritas and super friendly staff.

There reactions to me coming up to them was very interesting. They both were very nice and inviting. They mentioned if I ever wanted to interview someone again to call them. They both were very easy to talk to and had so much to say. We eventually got over the awkward faze and started having a really nice conversation.

Mont Belvieu Texas a black student is suspended twice for his hairstyle. Darryl George a Junior at Barber Hill High School was in tears after being suspended not only once but twice due to having twisted dreadlocks.

The same week the state of Texas outlawed racial discrimination based on hairstyles. School officials stated in the article that his dreadlocks fell below his eye brows and ear lobes which violate the districts dress code.

The CROWN act law stands for Creating Respectful and Open World for Natural hair. The bill was passed on March 18, 2022, but did not pass the U.S Senate and is going to be reintroduced during the 2023 legislative session. The law is intended to prohibit racial hair discrimination. The first introduction of the CROWN Act was in 2021 when a biracial 7 year old girl in Michigan had her haircut by a school worker without parental permission. The girls father filed a $1 million lawsuit.

The issue of race-based hair discrimination has struck many debates in the U.S. For black people hairstyles play an important role across the Black diaspora. There hair is a symbol of survival, resistance, and celebration. Not just fashion.

Since Daryrl George was suspended his family moved to a school nearby. After his suspension he stated that “His grades are suffering, which also means he is not able to play football or participate in any extracurriculars” He also said “he was on track to graduate early”, but due to his suspension he was falling behind and would have had to work double to graduate on time. Attorney Allie Booker represents the family stated “The school’s argument doesn’t hold up because length is considered part of a hairstyle, which is protected under the law.” The district defends its dress code and say that the policies are meant to “teach grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards and teach respect for authority.” The family continues to fight.

School officials say his dreadlocks fell below his eye brows and ear lobed which violate the districts dress code.

This incident impacted many students and struck so many debates.
