I was suspended for my hairstyle, twice I think. Definitely at least two times. Just wasn't in line with the dress code for the school. Annoyed me at the time but it's like... the rules weren't racial, I'm white and one of the times I had cornrows. It was the 90's, I'd just been to Tenerife, I definitely looked stupid.
If cornrows were banned, it absolutely was racist, they just accidentally caught a white person too

No, all kinds of stuff was banned and I think there was literally one black guy at my school. Come to think of it, he may have actually had cornrows and wasn't suspended for it. But there was a very strict dress code. Bordering on military, now I think about it.
I'm not in the USA and I wish I didn't have to hear about your annoying culture war shit constantly.
In the this case the dress code is a child's argument. The hair is "too long" and the statute only protects cultural hair styles without using the word "length" anywhere. It's exactly the same level as your buddy arguing you can deal illegal drugs if you get a tax stamp.
