Two Texas students who have grown a single braid in their hair for religious reasons had been banned from participating in extracurricular activities for the past two years. Last week the brothers received a major court win and will be allowed to participate in sports and other activities.
The brothers, Cesar and Diego Gonzales, have grown the braids as part of a religious promise known as a promesa. They have kept this “promise” since birth, The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty wrote in a press release about the brothers’ court win.
