On Wednesday, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) demanded a federal discrimination investigation into states that are moving to shut down diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices on their public college campuses, opposing attacks on programs that promote diversity and cultural understanding. The CBC is urging the Department of Justice to examine the legality of such bans. In a related move, the CBC invited Darryl George, a Texas student suspended by Barbers Hill ISD over his hairstyle, to attend the State of the Union Address as a guest. This invitation is a statement against the discrimination faced by George, which is seen as a violation of the Crown Act, highlighting the broader issue of racial discrimination in education.

Texas student Darryl George was suspended from school because of his hair, a direct violation of the #CrownAct. No one should be discriminated against for their natural hair. I’m happy that Darryl joined @TheBlackCaucus as a #SOTU guest to highlight this injustice. https://t.co/g59V0ULthL
