Apparently wearing or having the Rosary at school is considered a gang related issue. This is going to make some Catholics pretty unhappy. This from Fox News:
Tabitha Ruiz was stopped by security guards at Seagoville High School in Dallas last week and told to take off the silver and ruby beaded rosary, a gift from her mother. On Monday, the same thing happened when she again came to the school wearing the beads.
“I went to school, walked through the metal detectors and they told me to take it off,” the teen said. “I asked them why and they said because it’s gang-related.”

Good grief! If this type of thing keeps up, soon they’ll be sending adults home from work for wearing crosses…oh, wait.
Oh for crying out loud. The only gang that rosaries are associated with are Nuns. And they can be pretty bad ass too.
