A New Jersey school district has said its wrestling team will no longer compete in events officiated by a referee who told one of its athletes to cut his dreadlocks before a match or risk a forfeit. Last week, Buena Regional High School wrestler Andrew Johnson, who is black, was captured on a video obtained by SNJ Today receiving a haircut from an athletic trainer. Johnson went on to win his match against a rival from Oakcrest High School but appeared visibly upset. The high school’s wrestling coach and athletic trainer discussed the incident with board members behind closed doors Wednesday.
