California student forced to remove American flag shirt deemed 'gang related'
Fox News ^ | 10/28/15

**SNIP**

The shirt includes a red star in the corner with the number 31, and "California" is printed underneath the American flag design, which appears in the shape of a bear. California was admitted as the 31st state in 1850.

A school official, however, said the red star on the shirt blurs the line between free speech and safety, Fox 40 reported. The star, the school said, is often associated with the Norteno gang.

"Our local gang task force, they identify colors, they identify designs, they identify all of the things that we should be aware of," Ramiro Carreon, assistant superintendent at Marysville Joint Unified School District, told the station.

"That design has been associated with gangs in the past, and we cannot just turn a blind eye to that," Carreon said.

I’m a member of the gang myself. I believe the head guys are that Tommy Jefferson kid, and Georgie Washington from over in Vernon.

We’ve been known to be pretty tough, and made a few stands against other gangs (Nazis, Saddam’s bandits, and British thugs). Yeah, we got reputation...you know.

And that works well for him because it keeps him from having to use his own brain, which has atrophied while he was in graduate school "earning" his Ph.D. in "Education"..

Uh, what was his name again? Oh yeah, Ramiro Carreon.

Maybe he’s just a little bit sen-si-tivvve /savage off.

The “red star” is more of a Commie thing, isn’t it?
(If it’s true that the red star is the logo of a gang
in California; they may have a point.)

The red star and the grizzly bear have been symbols of California and on its flag since its inception.

The only way to be truly safe is to outlaw all color.

We're doing that. It looks like we're starting with white. ;-)

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
