JohnRich 4 #1 March 20, 2004 In the news: Student's refusal to adjust cap leads to arrestA 17-year-old boy was in the school cafeteria, wearing a ball cap sideways. Security guards asked him to turn his hat around, because sideways caps are seen as a sign of disrespect for authority. The boy, who is black, refused, and pointed to several other white kids who were also wearing caps sideways, but which had not been targetted as he had. The boy was suspended from school for three days for insubordination, arrested for trespassing, taken to jail, fingerprinted, photographed, and held for several hours for disorderly conduct, failure to obey a police officer, trespassing and interfering or disrupting an educational institution. Full Story That should teach the little bugger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #2 March 20, 2004 Well, sh*t, I didn't know that a side-ways cap was a sign of disrespect. It's pretty dumb, and I'm inclined to believe that the "rule" is selectively enforced.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

indyz 1 #6 March 20, 2004 I'm surprised that he was even allowed to wear a hat in school. From kindergarten until I graduated high school in 2001 we weren't allowed to wear any non-religious headgear inside the building, no exceptions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 #9 March 20, 2004 We got a DCV (Dress Code Violation) - get enough DCVs and you get to spend some time after school transcribing "The Gentleman" Of course the principals office would rent ties for around $1.00 a day if you found yourself without one. Speaking of "The Gentleman", anyone have a copy? Between grade school and high school I'll bet I copied that thing at least a hundred times. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

Sounds like those goons in Hollywood, "If GW becomes President I'm leaving for Europe!". None of'em left...... Dang! Now I agree that if this kid was singled out, then thats wrong. but if he was just really full of bad attitude then he might of had it coming, but in order to do it right the school officials should have came down on everyone wearing a sideways ballcap.

Just anothr example of the institutional racisim that still runs rampant in American authority today. Thats good old fasioned "American" justice "shoulda never gave them darkies the vote in the first place" On my way to coaches course a while back I got pulled over I was searched because "I wanna make sure you don't have a handgranade" my car was searched without my permission. I was made to sit in the rain in front of his car. I was then given a ticket for no insurance. I got lots of stories like that.

davelepka 4 #20 March 20, 2004 Trespassing? According to the story, the princiapl, said "Now you're suspended (monentary pause) and NOW you're trasspassing, take him away". That in itself seems a bit unfair. Can he suspend the student on the spot, without notifying his parents? How can he be arrested for trespassing, when he wasn't given an oppertunity to leave a building he was authorized to be in in the first place? How can a group of twisted dumb motherfuckers end up in charge of educating America's youth? Will Timmy be resuced from the well in time? Tune in next week for more......

The kid will clean up too, especially if he can prove they were letting white kids do the same thing. That's blatant discrimination and about what you'd expect from a dumb $5 an hr school cop.

And they were hardasses about it. Nowadays a teacher gets sued if they tell someone they can't wear a hat in school. Progress, I suppose. At least the lawyers get rich.

NO "Ostentatoire" (don't know how to translate it, but it's like visibel, recognisible) RELIGIOUS SIGN IN SCHOOL... to me the 1st target were muslim girls with their veil/chaddor or whatever you might call it... Then they found out that jews could not wear a kippa anymore... then no beard (mainly for muslim boys), but what if a christian boy wanted to wear a beard ?? no cross bigger that this or that size etc etc etc... And now what about let's say... a young guy with a Tshirt with a huge cross on it ??? or a david's star ?? or a pentacle ??? they are in deep sh*t with these ideas... all that to protect the laicism of the french school.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
