TEENAGER ASKED TO CUT NATURAL LOCS OR FORGO GRADUATION CEREMONY

18-year-old Deandre Arnold has been a student at Barbers Hill ISD his entire life and has been growing his dreadlocks since he was 10 years old with no issues. For some reason back in December, Deandre was told to get rid of the dreads or spend the rest of the year in in-school suspension, which would mean he couldn't walk the graduation stage with the rest of his classmates in the spring.


The high school senior, who is said to be an A-B student, is expected to graduate in 3 months. As of now, he and his family are standing firm on not cutting his hair, which means he will be ineligible to walk in his graduation.
