White T-Shirt

WRAL reports A Person County mother is appealing her son's suspension.

She claims the school unfairly suspended her son for 10 days -- just for wearing a white T-shirt.

The woman claims her son did not violate school dress codes.

But school administrators interpreted the T-shirt as a gang symbol and therefore as a direct violation to school dress codes.

ZeroIntelligence blogged With all of the chaos caused by imprinted t-shirts and free speech issues you would think a school would welcome plain ones.

The district policy does forbid "Clothing that promotes gang affiliation" but gives no indication of what that clothing might be, leaving literally everything open to interpretation.

Do they also interpret vanilla ice cream as "gang food" and white paper as "gang supplies"?
