A New York boy is suspended by his school for wearing rosary beads. Officials say beads aren't allowed because they may be g-related. But Raymond and Chantal Hoiser say these aren't just beads, it's a rosary, and it's 's worn to honor family. (May 21)

@Blondesarecute417 Religion is one's way of life.A symbol or one's action, religious or not, may mean one thing to one person and another thing to another person.Romans 14 Perhaps the uncle gave the brother the rosary and the boy wears them to remember both and their relationship with God.That is between him and God. Where in the Bible does it say to wear a rosary for rememberance is sacrilegious?

@67wester The Japanese have family crests that go back centuries known as kamon (mon).Manji is kamon that would be described as a swastika.People interpret symbols differently.If a teacher did a project on ancestory and ask everyone to wear traditional clothing.Should a child who wears a kimono with a "swastika" on it then be suspended?Or jewelry with a family crest?I understand the concern. The school should talk to the child and/or parent for clarification.

How can a school tell kids what to wear or what not to wear?
Sure, gang related activities such as bearing arms, dealing drugs etc. cannot be tolerated at all. Those are criminal activities.
But mere symbols are completely unharmful. Actually, if you let all school kids wear a gang symbol it automatically stops being a gang symbol.
If it were jewelry with swastikas or other death-related images I would still understand the school, but I find it unacceptable for a school to refuse beads.

I do think it is wrong to wear a rosary as a necklace but not because it might be ganag related but because it is sacreligous and also i don't think he should be suspended for it
