Darryl George, a black student in Texas, was suspended from school last year for his dreadlocks, which the school said violated their dress code.
He and his family argued that his dreadlocks are a significant part of his culture and should be allowed, but the school disagreed.
Darryl filed a lawsuit claiming his punishment was unfair and went against a new law that protects people from discrimination based on their hair.
However, a judge recently ruled against Darryl's request for a temporary order to return to his old school, setting back his fight for fairness.
