Remember to file a civil suit naming the administrators individually and the district, seeking $10 million at least.

I'm glad that they filed a civil rights complaint on those freaks. It is one of the things that they actually fear.

And for a real good reason:

UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 18,CHAPTER 13, SECTION 242;
Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

You go, grrrl! Sue the living sh*t out of that school district for (1) being so stupid, (2) being traitorous idiots and (3) daring to draw a paycheck from the public treasury with the above liabilities. Use the settlement money to go to Patrick Henry or Hillsdale College and finish the rest of these fifth column types off when you get a seat on the Supreme Court someday.

Uncle Sam's Gang deserves all the support from every patriotic citizen.

Where's the ACLU when you need them? (sarcasm of course!)

I just remember the little kids in the playground play cowboys and Indians and using their fingers for guns being suspended under the zero tolerance rule.

Then I read about a little girl and red, white and blue necklace and shake my head. People working in the education system are a bunch of morons.

How do you know? The article does not say anything about her skin color

Because some of us saw the story when it first appeared. Other Articles. Pictures.

If she were homeschooled or attended a private school would there be a law suit?

School officials say the color red is often affiliated with one particular gang, and the color blue is often affiliated with another."

IIRC, one is the Bloods, and the other the Crips, and they have not generally enjoyed a peaceful relationship. Why would someone wear colors of two or three rival gangs when the obvious (given) explanation makes more sense?

These people are educating children? Sheesh!

" Then I read about a little girl and red, white and blue necklace and shake my head"

Don't forget the second grader in Atlanta suspended for carring a weapon...in the form of a Tweety Bird key ring. It had a one inch chain attaching Tweety to the key ring, and was therefore considered a dangerous weapon. Also there was an episode of a child suspended for possession of a GI Joe toy gun (3/4")

Is this the issue? As her white mom, I don't know? and honestly do not want to go there. She is my daughter, and I am very proud of her for this.

It just struck me that the actions of the school administration could be classified as racial profiling.

The USA gang!

It's not a "gang", it's a "club".

I have not, nor will I go there. Some other people have mentioned this to me however, I just don't think it is relavent. Maybe thats what made them violate her rights but for us it just isn't an issue. They have taught her to sterotype already with this case. One instance is they had a substitute teacher named Mr. Hussien and she was afraid to go into his class so she went to someone elses math class out of fear. She ended up with in-school suspension for this. For those of you that may have missed NRANews.com with Cam Edwards, he gave us the time to tell our story and pass the word around.I know alot of opinions on the ACLU and if people have other suggestions for whom I may contact for help, please let us know. I have posted Raven's Necklaces on e-aby and she donated the proceeds so for to the freepation. The prices have been lowered to $3.00 which only covers the cost of making, envelope for shipping and an additional $1.65 for postage. She makes about.55 a piece. This is a good girl

Here is another organisation that might be able to help:
