According to the wording of the ad he took out, his argument is focused on length, not style. He explicitly states that the school allows braids, locs, and rows. Then he argues that the CROWN act is very specific about not applying to length.
This whole thing is really stupid. Length of styling of hair, along with clothing and other personal appearance issues, should be considered speech and protected outside of blatant attempts to disrupt an educational atmosphere. All that said, the school may not be acting in opposition to the letter of the law, even if they definitely are in spirit.
or maybe, just hear me out, the dude should join the rest of us in 2023 instead of 1923. It’s a waste of time, resources and effort. Literally nobody is benefiting from him making an issue out of something that simply does not matter.
And for the record, he’s singling the kid out for being black. I doubt he’d have an issue with a white boy wearing a man bun, or whatever the equivalent would be.
What a fucking asshole.
Seriously. Texas passes a law, and this guy thinks he can just ignore it?
Yeah, only their attorney general is allowed to do that!
Ken Paxton is the rancid piss stain left behind whenever abott waddles by.
Still I’m surprised it even became law in Texas at all- which kinda makes this asshole an even bigger asshole.
Abbott doesn’t waddle, he rolls. But for however else evil he may be, Abbott hasn’t been indicted that I know of.

1923 was also during a period of upheaval for freedom of expression :)
