Gangs and Rosaries.
Dowling-Sendor, Benjamin
American School Board Journal, v185 n5 p22,24 May 1998
Because some known gang members were wearing rosaries as gang symbols, a Texas school district told two students--who were not gang members--that they could not wear rosaries outside their shirts. A federal district court ruled (Chalifoux v. New Caney Independent School District) that the district's entire gang-apparel policy was void because of vagueness and the action violated the Free Exercise rights of the students. (MLF)
