A 13-year-old boy has been swept into a federal civil rights lawsuit against a Texas school board, after three members of staff—including the now-principal—allegedly colored in the carving of his non-regulation haircut on his scalp with a permanent marker.
When Juelz Trice arrived at Berry Miller Junior High School on April 17 sporting a new hairstyle featuring a carved “M,” he was told it was in violation of the school dress code, which at the time prohibited extreme hairstyles, including “carvings.”
