This is ten miles from me; I have concluded that at some level the Rosary-necklace was intended as a gang symbol. However, the principal’s alleged threatening of actual physical violence (with the knife), if it occurred, seems to surpass the boy’s act in notoriety. I am a Catholic and pray the Rosary daily but would never think to hang it as a necklace.
>>>The principal said the original order would have made it impossible for him to do his job. <<<
I would think the fact that he is a moronic bully already makes it impossible for him to do his job.
I wonder what would happen if he threatened to cut off a muslim student’s head scarf?
Establishment of a religion--I don't think so.
Now for those spacey systems that make the students dress the part and become, say, Muslims for a day to "understand" that religion, yeah!--that is Waaaaay beyond the pale.

Ki-Be is near Tri-Cities, not Spokane.
Plenty of gangs though.
This seems more an anti-religious beef than anti-gang.
Wrong crowds complaining.
(or usual suspects not)
