A Colorado middle school has banned the wearing of crosses and rosaries.
They originally sent home a letter with students saying that the wearing of crosses and rosaries were offensive to those of some particular faith traditions.
THEN, they said that cross and rosary wearing had been adopted as gang symbols and they were being banned for that reason.
All I have to say is: if barring crosses and rosaries is your idea of a significant step in combating the evils of gang behavior, heaven help your student body. Gang violence, bullying and presence will not be deterred by something so simplistic. Wake up, America.
