School Bans SF Giants and 49ers clothes

Story: North Bay School Bans Popular Team Apparel

While the rest of the country is under the naive assumption that SF stands for San Francisco, in Bay Area schools, it means "scrap free." By banning the apparel, it will not only help curb the gang problem, but it will finally help put an end to teens wearing jerseys to school. We are currently researching if Richmond, VA is experiencing similar problems with students wearing colors from the Double-A affiliate, the Flying Squirrels.


Teen gang-raped after school homecoming in Richmond

Some argue that when schools allow grinding at dances, it encourages sexual activity. I guess for others it leads to gang-raping fifteen year olds on the side of the building. I suppose having security stick around for when the dance lets out didn't cross anyone's mind.


VIDEO: Gang Beats Honor Student to Death



Story: Teen Attacked, Beaten to Death in Melee

A Chicago honor student was beaten to death by gang members wielding wooden boards after school outside Fenger High School. Just one month into the school year, gang violence has flared up several times. This week it came to a head when 16 year old Derrion Albert got caught up in the melee and was beaten to death. Allegedly there were two police officers sitting in a squad car watching the this all take place who claim to have been 'waiting for backup'. Police have yet to identify the person responsible for the murder.

Warning, the video is GRAPHIC.


NY Students Prohibited From Wearing Scarves

Story: NY Students Prohibited From Wearing Scarves

The school suspected a boy to be in a gang for wearing a scarf. I guess there is a dangerous group of teens running through New York schools with really warm necks. So by banning them, the school hopes to see a decrease in gang activity (and presumably a decrease in the scarf fashion trend). But there is sure to be an increase in bronchitis, pneumonia, and strep throat. That's just the price you pay for dire safety measures.


Texas Student Told Rosary Is 'Gang Symbol'

Story: Texas High School Student Told Rosary Is 'Gang Symbol'

If you haven't heard this story, it seems there are a bunch of Catholic teens going around forgiving people for their sins, offering repentance, and obeying the Ten Commandments. Authorities believe this gang will only offer more harm than peace. Wait a second...wasn't is Texas that approved Bible courses in high school? Let's get our hypocrisies straight before we continue to makes fools of ourselves with inexcusable punishments.


Texas school bans blue and red shirts

Story: Taylor High School bans certain T-shirts

Well this doesn't sound very patriotic. The idea is to curb the gang problem in the school. Apparently if you moderate which color shirts students wear, gang conflict will be completely eliminated. They are also banning shirts with pictures of jewelry or money. Growing up, I remember these clearly being the biggest threats to my safety. Again, let's chalk this up to a step in the wrong direction toward improving the state of education.

600 students were involved?! Are we sure this was at a high school? Talk about a hostile environment. I feel bad for the parents of the dozen or so kids who are not affiliated with gangs.


Officials investigate reported gang induction at elementary school

Story: Officials investigate reported gang induction at elementary school


I've heard the the moutains of South Carolina are a close rival to the gang activity in South Central L.A. These 5th graders are in for a wake-up call when they get to 6th grade if they are forming gangs in elemenentary school. Either way, the principal better keep an eye on this before kids start saying "Your Momma" jokes too.
