A | After serving more than a month of in-school suspension over his dreadlocks, a Black student in Texas was told he will be removed from his high school and sent to a disciplinary alternative education program on Thursday.Darryl George, 18, is a junior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu and has been suspended since Aug. 31. He will be sent to EPIC, an alternative school program, from Oct. 12 through Nov. 29 for “failure to comply” with multiple campus and classroom regulations, the principal said in a Wednesday letter provided to The Associated Press by the family.Principal Lance Murphy wrote that George has repeatedly violated the district's “previously communicated standards of student conduct." The letter also says that George will be allowed to return to regular classroom instruction on Nov. 30 but will not be allowed to return to his high school's campus until then unless he's there to discuss his conduct with school administrators.Barbers Hill Independent School District prohibits male students from having hair extending below the eyebrows, ear lobes or top of a T-shirt collar, according to the student handbook. Additionally, hair on all students must be clean, well-groomed, geometrical and not an unnatural color or variation. The school does not require uniforms.George's mother, Darresha George, and the family's attorney deny the teenager's hairstyle violates the dress code. The family last month filed a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency and a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state’s governor and attorney general, alleging they failed to enforce a new law outlawing discrimination based on hairstyles. The family alleges George's suspension and subsequent discipline violate the state’s 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. A federal version passed in the U.S. House last year, but was not successful in the Senate.The school district also filed a lawsuit in state district court asking a judge to clarify whether its dress code restrictions limiting student hair length for boys violates the CROWN Act. The lawsuit was filed in Chambers County, east of Houston.George’s school previously clashed with two other Black male students over the dress code. Barbers Hill officials told cousins De’Andre Arnold and Kaden Bradford they had to cut their dreadlocks in 2020. Their families sued the district in May 2020, and a federal judge later ruled the district’s hair policy was discriminatory. Their pending case helped spur Texas lawmakers to approve the state’s CROWN Act. Both students withdrew from the school, with Bradford returning after the judge’s ruling. ___AP journalist Juan Lozano contributed to this report from Houston.___The Associated Press education team receives support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

B | 随着杯贴的走红，不少商家开放“上传杯贴”的功能，年轻人可自主DIY图案，甚至不少人花几十块购买“代画杯贴”服务，用以定制更加精致的专属贴纸。

无需专业绘画功底，也没有高级审美的压力，小程序简单点触，十分钟就能完成一幅“作品”。这种“随手摸鱼”式的创作，门槛极低，但反馈极快：画歪的小人、发疯文学、网络热梗、自我打气的短句，全都可以贴在奶茶杯上，成为一杯带着自己专属印记的“特调”饮品。
C | 在肯定“杯贴”的意义的同时，也有人质疑，这一张张小小的方片纸，花高达50元的价格去买它，是否有“买椟还珠”之嫌?
当下年轻人的社交，愈发偏爱低成本、低压力的表达方式：在这个拍照打卡蔚然成风的社交媒体时代，无需长篇大论抒发心情，也不用刻意经营人设，一张小小的杯贴，便能完成自我表达与圈层的共鸣，成为社交网络中的“高光素材”。

要看到，当代年轻人，本就成长在物质丰富的时代，他们对“价值”的定义也不再局限于功能层面。一件物品值不值得、需不需要，衡量的标准还来自情感维度。在他们看来，消费的快乐不再只来自饮品本身，更来自亲手创作的成就感，这种“消费+创造”的全新模式，让每一次消费都有了专属记忆。这份即时的愉悦感和自我认同感，又何尝没有珍贵之处呢?
或者可以说，贵的不是那片小小的“杯贴”，而是杯贴上展现出来的“个人信息”。
D | 它或许藏着年轻人对自己的调侃，或许表达着他们对生活的态度，也或许是一种直白的宣泄。对当下很多年轻人来说，能够彰显个性、连接同好、引发共鸣的消费，才是真正“值钱”的消费。

当然，我们也要理性看待这股“杯贴”之热。
E | 不少人只是为了一张贴纸而下单一杯奶茶，但再精致的杯贴，其物理寿命也较为短暂，终究无法长久留存。即使对杯贴之风一时“上头”，也应考量的是，待热度消退，那些高价定制的杯贴，有多少只是转瞬即逝的社交泡沫? 从“买一杯奶茶”到“定制一杯情绪”，年轻人愿意为情绪价值买单无可厚非，但消费始终需要守住理性底线。分清“喜欢的刚需”和“跟风的欲望”，适度体验、量力消费，在释放个性、取悦自我的同时守住消费分寸，不为物役，才应是年轻人成熟、清醒的消费选择。
