Students sue Texas school district for banning long hair on boys
Seven students are suing a Texas School District over its dress-code policy banning boys from having long hair.
According to The Suit , school officials suspended a 9-year-old boy for a month, barred him from recess and normal lunch breaks as punishment for long hair.
He and The Other students, aged 7 to 17, say the policy violates The Constitution and Title IX - a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination.
The School District said on Thursday it was reviewing The Suit .
Magnolia Independent School District " respects varying viewpoints, and we respect the rights of citizens to advocate for change, " spokeswoman Denise Meyers said in an email to US media.
The District , which serves roughly 13,000 students about 40 miles (64km) northwest of Houston, did not return a request for comment from The Bbc .
According to its dress code policy, boys cannot wear their hair over their eyes, past the bottom of their ears, or past the bottom of a Dress Shirt collar. Facing backlash this summer, Magnolia defended the policy, saying it " reflects the values of our community at large".
The Suit , filed by The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas (ACLU) on Thursday on behalf of The Students , argues the School District " imposed immense and irreparable Harm . . solely because of these students' gender".
It details A Number of punishments given to The Students - Six boys And One non-binary child - for wearing long hair.
One, a nine-year-old identified as AC, is Latino, and wears his hair long like his father and uncle as a part of His Family 's heritage, The Suit says. Another, an 11-year-old identified as TM, is non-binary and has worn long hair as a " critical component" of their gender expression.
Both have been subjected to punishments including suspension, denial of extracurricular activities and separation from their peers.
" This rule is a complete and utter dinosaur, " said parent Stanley Burkhead, whose son has long hair, at a school board meeting in August.
" Who are we to tell him who he can't be? Who are we to tell him what a boy should look like? " He Said . A Survey by the ACLU of Texas Last Year found that nearly 500 public school districts in The State have some type of a hair-length policy only for boys.
