A middle school student in the United States was dissatisfied with the school’s request to cut his hair short and took the governor and the state attorney general to court.

According to a number of American media reports, an 18-year-old middle school student in Texas, USA, was dissatisfied with the school’s request that he must cut his hair short, and not only took the school to court, but also the governor of Texas and the state attorney general, saying that he had been illegally persecuted by them.

According to American media reports, the middle school student sued the school and the government on the basis of an anti-hair discrimination bill that came into effect in Texas last September. The English name is CROWN Act. The law requires local schools, employers and other institutions not to discriminate against those who have hair styles with national and cultural characteristics, such as some common hair styles of black Americans.

However, on Thursday, local time, the judge who heard the case of students suing the school ruled that the school won the case, on the grounds that although the laws of Texas protect national characteristic hairstyles from discrimination, there is no provision in the law to protect the length of hair, so the judge can only decide the case according to law and cannot invent anything that is not in the law, otherwise it will overstep the functions of the legislature.
