Controversy
[edit]In July 2024, the ACLU of Texas sent Comstock ISD a letter, alleging that the district's 2023-2024 dress and grooming code appeared to violate the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (or CROWN) Act, a Texas law which prohibits racial discrimination based on hair texture or style, and asking the district to revise its policies for the 2024-2025 school year.[6]
