School bans pink stuff O.o;;;

[Lancet Jades]

MERRILLVILLE, Ind. -- Officials have banned pink clothing for the remainder of the school year out of concerns that the color has become associated with gang activity.

Administrators last week told students at the city's high school and two middle schools to avoid wearing pink clothing or accessories, said Michael Berta, associate superintendent in the Northwestern Indiana district.

"There is no evidence of gang activity. But because of the growing use of the color pink we decided to be proactive. Girls and boys are supposed to avoid wearing pink," Berta said Monday.

None of the district's 6,500 students have been disciplined for wearing pink, he said.

Berta said the issue came up at a recent administrator's meeting when a principal remarked that there were more students wearing pink. "Not only were there more kids wearing pink T-shirts and pink hats, but also pink shoelaces, which was unusual," he said.

Clothing retailers said pink is a popular color in current styles.

"About 30 percent of my items for this season are pink. It's 'in.' I have pink in every shade," said Amanda Zipko, owner of Amanda Gayle's boutique in Schererville.

[Laggy]

[Quel Thalas]

Id smack any guy i saw wearing all pink... and that is just stupid... we cant wear orange, thats it... now...if they were to ban black...there woudld be a riot...with me in it

[Lancet Jades]

If a gang wore all pink, they wouldnt be respected and stuff, lol.

Seems to me some students who like to hang out together just started wearing pink, and the damned jaded school board deicded they were a gang.

[Eisen]

.... That is insane.....

[Zelphiel]

If a real gang had the balls to wear all pink, I'd have a little respect for them. It would take a lot of guts to do something like that.

[Quel Thalas]

heh, yeah, gotta give em that... id love to see my school pul that... with black, though... about a half of the school wears black on a daily basis, me included...

[Zelphiel]

[Lancet Jades]

Lol, i dunno, it just happens.

Its stuff like this that makes forums worthwhile though. Thats why i allow threads to go off-topic like this.

[Laggy]

lol i see..yeah at times it does get fun eh

[Chaos Theory]

randomness is one of the few things life has to offer

[Aoi Asahina]

Why pink, why couldnt they just bann every color that is gang related. Next thing you know everyone will be streaking, and it would be considered gang related...

[Laggy]

llooll id be in that gang lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aoi Asahina]

And I bet you would love to be the leader too, wouldnt you?

[Laggy]

hmm IDK is that a trick Question?....lol

[Aoi Asahina]

No, its not

[Chaos Theory]

I would not be in that gang because Laggy is in it and that m,eans kenny as well XD

[Laggy]

um well if kennys there i wont be...damn you cammy

[Nereid]

Lol, I'd show up the next day with a pink shirt, pink pants, pink hair, and somehow have pink skin (maybe even pink eye) just to see the look on their faces...

[Link]

lol, they'd probebly hang you. Like all the skater guys at my school where pink on a regular basis. :hmm

[Saberstar]

I wonder what happens when you change in the locker room and they see you wearing a pink boxer or underwear or thong. >>

[Lancet Jades]

they probly look away and dont ask questions...

anyways, this is klozed. so off-topic, and yet so on-topic....
