The schools in our area have adopted dress codes and banned gang symbols. But, I don’t see how it solves the problem. Every time an item of clothing/jewelry is banned, the gang members are just going to come up with another way to send signals to each other.

Yup. It may be vaguely possible that this principal knows more that’s going on in his school district than posters to this forum.

If I recall correctly, that’s how it started in Rome.

I believe he does, but banning symbols is ultimately useless, and besides, I don’t agree with banning a certain article of dress.

>>Why was the kid even wearing a Rosary? It’s not jewelry, it’s a tool used for prayer. Unless he’s contemplating a religious life and prays frequently during the day, there really is no reason for him to wear it.<<

Thank you.
If this were a scapular, I would have a problem. A rosary? Their moms should know better.
