Ellen Pleads for Student’s Return to School After Dress Code Controversy

Ellen welcomed Texas high school senior DeAndre Arnold, who made national news after he was told by school officials that he had to cut off his dreadlocks in order to return to classes. DeAndre talked with Ellen about how he’s not allowed to walk at graduation and why he has stood his ground and has not given in to their policy. Ellen also had a gift for him from her friends at Shutterfly, which was presented to DeAndre by Alicia Keys.
