A Minnesota high school student who wears rosary beads to school in support of his cancer-stricken grandmother was ordered to pocket them by school district officials, who said the beads could be a symbol of gang membership.

    pretty sad when a northern suburb of Minnesota is so scared of gang violence that they do this...

    We had specific colour shoelaces banned in my school almost 10 years ago now.

    School boards are stupid as fuck.

    Olson said Coon Rapids police informed the district in early May that some local gangs, namely the Latin Kings and the Surenos, do use rosary beads as affiliation symbols


    They probably wear (t-)shirts and jeans too, and maybe even underwear. Guess that is banned now also?

    Wearing Rosaries is no longer PC? They should go to the parochial school that I went to as a kid. Tell the Sister (Nuns) and the Brothers (Monks) that and they will kick your ass.

    This one's not so much about PC... It's that the Rosary has been co-opted by Mexican gangs in the area and rosaries are used by them as a gang sign... Sad on many levels.

    Then deal with the gang problem and leave everyone else alone. But, of course, where the gangs are Mexican and a protected group the useless fucking PC police would rather persecute innocent people than dare to say out loud that the real problem is with one of their precious minorities.

    You're seriously saying that a gang problem exists because the police are too pc? What would it look like if they weren't pc, what would they do differently?

    Stop the fuckers at the border before they come in. The worst of these mutts are not US citizens of a Mexican background, but Mexican citizens who are in the US illegally.

    So you have no gangs except for Mexicans? We don't have many illegal Mexicans here, yet we still have a gang problem. And what are employers going to do for cheap labor if you don't allow the Mexicans in? Your agricultural sector will be devastated.

    Mexican gangs are the worst and I'm happy to hear you don't have any.

    Why, Andy, I'm sure you'll love my answer: The corporate employers that depend on illegally cheap illegal Mexican workers will have to pay legal US residents higher wages in order to get them into the fields. This will create jobs for US residents and they'll all have to pay at least minimum wage or probably more.

    No, they'll be temporarily disrupted and then the market will adjust.

    We're getting them too, as our gangs start affiliating with them - doesn't actually take a Mexican presence to have Mexican influenced gangs. The power of drugs. (You know where this is going, don't you?)

    I am happy with your answer about wages, but from what I read on this forum, we're crazy to relive that and racist to boot. The economy will collapse if we don't have cheap labor to exploit, and what better people to exploit than immigrants.

    True, but the Mexican guys are profoundly violent. Even the Asian gangs are nicer kids than the Mexicans are.

    I don't think the economy will collapse just because we can't fuck over poor indigenous peoples from Latin America. It'll adjust is what it will do. Relative prices for food as a percentage of personal income will rise as labor prices rise and a nice side effect will be higher food prices which will help reduce obesity all on its own.
