Clinton Jr. was enrolled at A Book鈥檚 through a publicly funded scholarship program. He arrived for the first day of school on August 13, 2018, only to be told that he could not attend school because his hair extended below his ears and was styled in locs. A Book鈥檚 refused to allow Clinton Jr. to attend school because it has a policy that expressly bans 鈥渄reads鈥� for boys. Such a policy directly targets Black students, because locs (or 鈥渄reads鈥� as A Book鈥檚 calls them) are a natural hair formation for Black people and are disproportionately worn by Black students. A Book鈥檚 also selectively enforces its ban on male students wearing their hair below their ears against Black male students.

A Book鈥檚 policy and practice violates both the antidiscrimination provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Florida law. The complaint requests that the Florida Department of Education conduct an inquiry into A Book鈥檚 Christian Academy and suspend state scholarship funding until A Book鈥檚 changes its policy and practice of preventing Black students from attending school due to their natural hair.
