     "The district has defended its dress code, which says its policies for students are meant to 'teach grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards and teach respect for authority.'"

     That's some authoritarian bullshit right there.

     That, and that Texas had to pass a law that took effect in September 2023 to bar "employers and schools from penalizing people because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including Afros, braids, locs, twists or Bantu knots."

     Texas has problems.
