Is there a definition of what's "legal" and what's "illegal" in terms of hairstyle?
Well in Texas there is something in the books about the legality of hairstyles.
The incident recalls debates over hair discrimination in schools and the workplace and is already testing the state’s newly enacted CROWN Act, which took effect Sept. 1.
The law, an acronym for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” is intended to prohibit race-based hair discrimination and bars employers and schools from penalizing people because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including Afros, braids, dreadlocks, twists or Bantu knots. Texas is one of 24 states that have enacted a version of the CROWN Act
So the school suspending the student because of his hairstyle would be considered illegal under this law.

Who gives any kind of shits what a students hair looks like?
Why do these draconian dress codes still exist?
Sexism and racism.
Nice haircut actually.
I personally just wore a messy Hagrid-like heap of hair being 14-15, some teachers didn't like it, but I didn't care. They did take offense, though.
Let's hope that the rest of the school takes on the same hair dress, just for support.
violated the district’s dress code
hair fell below his eyebrows and ear lobes
I'm sorry, but WTF? Are they mandating everyone dress like skinheads or what?
I assume just the boys. Girls can probably have longer hair... as long as it's not in a "harlotous style" or some nonsense like that.

Usually schools will have an uniform but this was just his hair and most likely a more stereotypical white or Asian style probably wouldn't have this issue.
To conservatives, a real American is a white person with white eyes and blond hair. Anyone else is inferior.
This is why I hate the term "African-American". We don't call white people "European-Americans" while we call black people "African-Americans" as if they're not American enough.
It's sad.
