Another school bans clothing cause it "gang related"

[BlaqueKatt]

What would they do if a gang decided to wear something of religious significance as their identifying symbol? Like a crucifix or rosary beads? The supreme court says the school cannot order student to not display such items.

Anyone know if this has actually happened anywhere?

you're kidding right?

plus the first amendment is limited in public schools-the courts have given permission to limit rights for various reasons-wearing rosary beads as part of a gang symbol has allowed schools to ban them from visible wear* with the courts ok, as it may cause a disturbance being gang-related. Also a Catholic would not wear rosary beads around their neck-it's considered very sacrilegious to some-as they are prayer counters, not a decoration or jewelry. They are also usually blessed by a priest and therefore a "holy item" worthy of being treated with reverence.

*you can still wear them, just under your shirt not on the outside
