Maddox Cozart, a Native and African American student, has spent the past 10 days in in-school suspension after officials at Troy ISD said his braided hairstyle violates dress code.
...The 11-year-old braided his hair to learn more about his African heritage, but Cozart believes the suspension is teaching her son that he can’t express himself....
...Supporters of the school policy say Cozart is just trying to turn the situation into something it’s not. They believe her son should comply with the rule like everyone else.
“It’s not a race issue until they made it one. It’s a rule issue,” said one supporter.
Cozart says her daughter also faced backlash from the district when she dyed her hair red earlier this year.

They have ZERO PROOF of ANY of what is asserted.
Blacks do NOT HZVE TO FOLLOW ANY RULES.
“a Native and African American student”
I can’t keep up with it. Native was promoted to replace Indian, and now it seems to be more towards American-born. It’s so hard to keep up with the leftist terms.
They constantly change them as each attempt to exploit the "latest crisis" falls apart.
Maddox is not a very common name for anyone. I wonder if the mom named her mixed race son after Bill Clinton's favorite bigot: Lester Maddox. Likely though she does not even know who he was.
This is how we destroy young lives and turn them into career criminals
The Rules don’t matter, all that matters is how you feel.
ps. just curious, what does his Father think about this??
The local Miami media, always eager to create a “racist” story line, covered this story from Texas today.
Pathetic.
I wouldnt think the way you comb your hair is going to teach you about another country...
Why didnt he just read a book...
or go there himself...
I’m all for a reasonable dress code. But I’m not understanding why braided hair should be prohibited.
oh and red headed NA and AA...yes they all are arent they...
:)
Must not be a Randy Newman fan:
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart a** New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well he may be a fool but he's our fool
If they think they're better than him they're wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And that's where I made this song
I thought BIPOC covered this. Black Indigenous People of Color.
I thought BIPOC covered black people who went both ways (like Richard Pryor, and Will Smith).
Could be because he can’t read, And the people of Africa don’t want him there.
I can remember a time, when boys had to keep hair above the collar, and girls wore dresses to school. We are a long way from those days.
Me either... Apparently the Constitution dictates that all school children dress in the same uniform, shave their heads, never question authority, and salute their superiors.”
No “individualism” allowed at all.
Oh wait... That is NOT what it dictates...
Angelina Jolie named her oldest kid Maddox so maybe that’s where she heard it.
If the mom is serious about her sons ejamuction she would pull him from school ASAP and do it her self.
Stop your bitching, bitch! Make it happen !!
I use to like Randy Newman a lot before the shmaltzy Toy Story stuff.
