Parents of a black teenager in
Texas are suing their Houston-area school district after three white middle school personnel used a marker to blot out a design in their son's scalp.
The federal civil rights lawsuit was filed Sunday against the Pearland Independent School District and the three staff members of Berry Miller Junior High who used the marker to color the student's scalp.
The three claimed that his "common African
American 'fade' haircut violated the Pearland ISD dress code policy," the lawsuit reads.
