yeah, and if was wearing a condom, they’d be congratulating him!

If a student was wearing a burqa, not one word would be uttered…

Gee… I always thought it was freedom OF religion and not FROM religion…. you scum!

if he was wearing a ‘Bush lies, people die’ shirt, a burqa and had his shorts hanging half way down his ass, he would have his picture taken for the school yearbook.

Imagine if this were 1955. The person who suspended this kid would have been run out of town on a rail. Look at what has happened to this country! We have one group to thank for it – leftist swine.

If it was a Koran….no problem.

it’s real simple. really.

Stop playing their game on their terms.

HOME SCHOOL, GROUP SCHOOL.

I guarantee your kid will get a better education…not to mention bonding, getting to know your child as a person, AND it’s cheaper. And you can do it on your own schedule, wearing anything you like. Duh.

Did it with my four kids. They ALL went to college ON ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS, BTW, and are now happily doing the same thing for their children.

Best decision we ever made.

His civil rights have been violated. We are losing our country BIG TIME, if we haven’t already.

You’ve got to be kidding! Talk about civil rights and freedom of speech invasion! I will continue to show my support by continuing to pray “MY” rosary where I want and when I want! Now I “WILL” make sure to pray it in any and all government offices and agencies! I’m going to start wearing mine around my neck, when not in use! “For easy access”. There are truly people who do need the benefits of it!!!! “No one” better not tell me no!!!!

To my most recent comment. I commend Our Lady! SALVE REGINA

I can see this one now. Allow the Rosary and the gangs all suddenly get religion. Still, it’s about time we the people stood up and started running this country again instead of gangs and other garbage. The boy wants to wear his Rosary? So be it. The parents need to make a stand and if need be they too need to come to school every day to baby sit. Have Mom or Dad in school in a chair next to their kids and watch how fast things change for the better. Right off the top their won’t be a problem with spankings. On top of that we might see some of these Marxist teachers looking for a different country to invade as well.

You all can complain about these kinds of things when they’re posted to Breitbart. Or you can do something about it.

Get involved.

I am sure he’d be suspended if he wore a shirt that said….. “Obama’s brother lives in a hut”.

The Rosary is to be prayed, not worn casually as a fashion accessory!

For Pete sakes! What is wrong with these people?? If they don’t have a dress code…..then butt out! If you want to wear a cross, t-shirt with Jesus, or a goat on it, as long as it isn’t obscene, racist, ill fitting, dangerous, unproductive, immodest, or offensive to our country, butt out!!! (don’t like our country? Leave it.) Can’t do that…then adopt a dress code. Very simple…very fair to all.

Juvenile children. “Nanny” staters are way too oppressive these days. Whiners ….. everywhere, these days.

Suspending this kid for wearing rosary beads is ridiculous. But claiming that this nation was built on the belief in God is ignorant. Most of the Founding Fathers were not particularly religious men. And the one who was the most religious – James Madison – was also the most outspoken about the necessity for separation of church and state, because he believed that involvement in government always corrupts the church. Those who wish to paint the Founding Fathers as Jerry Falwells in powdered wigs are either willfully ignorant, or willfully distorting history

Probably best to rid this boy from worshiping Mary sooner rather than later. Only God deserves worship not any of His creation and last I read Mary is a created being.

From a secular point of view, it is well within the boy’s constitutional rights to exercise his free of religion even if that means wearing beads for the worshiping of a created being.

Sophron is correct. The Rosary is not a piece of jewelry; it is something that you take out when you pray and is similar in that regard to Muslim Worry Beads. If the kid wants to carry it in his pocket then that should be fine. He should know more about his own religion and so should his parents.

Can we please just have a little common sense. Are gangs really going around wearing rosaries? And even if they were, does that mean you should take them from the honest people who use them to pray???

COMMON SENSE PEOPLE PLEASE!

But it is OK to put a foot bath in for them damn mouslims.

Clearly shows the boy’s connection to the notorious “Our Lady of Perpetual Mercy” gang.

Noelle — no, gangs are not going around wearing rosaries. But the rosary is used by members of the Catholic cult which some could consider similar to the yarmulkes and worry beads used by other cults. All could be misused as symbols of gang-like groups. Vigilance is needed to keep your kids safe.

People, can we please focus on the issue at hand. There is a school rule that says no beads. His family died five years ago, but he only started wearing the beads 2 months ago. If the beads are for him to remember his uncle and brother, and the school is fine with him wearing them under his shirt, then why does he need to wear them on top of his shirt before the rule can be changed?

What if he was wearing black and red beads with a pentagram or upside down cross on them, would you still have the same objections and POV on this issue? You don’t protect your freedom of religion by forcing it down everyone else’s throat. Quit playing the progressive game.

Glad it wasn’t a Catholic school. They would have had the Sisters up against the wall.

Seriously though, I’m not Catholic but why was he wearing them outside of his shirt as was mentioned and why the long delay from when his relatives died? Sounds like someone is looking for a challenge to file a lawsuit.

Oh. Suddenly the Breitbart baggers got holy. Wonder how many got whiplash.

He could have said that they were Hindoo prayer beads and nobody would dare challenge him.
Or he could have said that they were mooslum beads and then whipped out a saber and asked, “any questions?”
But no, he had the tell the truth and that was just too much for the Satanistic Christophobes in the school.
Naturally the ACLU will come down on the side of the school. Those kind also hate Jesus and Christians and straights.

You see the boys mistake was not wearing the Koran. Had he been doing that, they would have given him a medal. Because he expressed belief in Jesus, he just had to be punished.

Probably best to rid this boy from worshiping Mary sooner rather than later. Only God deserves worship not any of His creation and last I read Mary is a created being.

From a secular point of view, it is well within the boy’s constitutional rights to exercise his free of religion even if that means wearing beads for the worshiping of a created being.

Hey TXMIKE – we don’t worship Mary ! Do a little research sport. We revere Mary for all she did and is doing for humanity , but Catholics ONLY worship the Trinity = Father,Son & Holy Spirit. From a former evangelical speaking in tongues wing nut.

This is the world you lefties wanted, starting with the hyper politically correct Clinton years. Enough dammit.

So brats and punks nowadays can come to school packing,half naked,speaking in foreign languages,having foreplay and or sex on school grounds,dealing and doing drugs,and so on but American flags,Bibles,and Rosemary Beads are equal to White pointed hoods and suitcase bombs.Sounds about right in upside down states of America being ran under backwards barry.Good and bad,right and wrong,minority and majority have traded places in case u didnt notice.

tony May 21st, 2010 – 6:29 pm

Ok whatever Mary worshiper and co redemtrix utter nonsense. Blastphemy plain and simple. Open your eyes. The sooner that child learns that the better and all you are doing is enabling his error.

All we do is revere blah blah blah…. Well if that is all you are doing then even that only belongs to God and not an individual ( ie Mary ) who was created by JESUS.

Pray America, pray. Keep Christ and the holy family in your lives. The more we see and hear about the holy family the better for all of us. “The family that prays together,stays together.” Pray the Rosary and reflect on it. You will not be sorry.

People, please remember your history. This is not a Christian nation. The first white settlers were Vikings. If you want to stay true to the tradition of those first settlers, you should be worshiping Thor. He looks a lot like Jesus but minus the beard and with the addition of a really cool hammer and Viking helmet with horns.

But instead, you demand preferential treatment for your Christian religion. The school rule says no beads outside the shirt, but you demand this kid be able to wear beads just because they are a religious symbol. You say you’re being persecuted, but you are the ones demanding special treatment.

http://www.sanantonio.gov/saPD/pdf/Awareness.pdf Scroll down to where the gang bead are, they look nothing like a rosary, Idiots!

Yes, we’ve all heard of the dreaded “gang Rosary.”

Hey, Andrew A. Minor point, Mr. Thinks He’s Giving Us A History Lesson. When the Vikings landed, this was not a nation. Therefore, your idiotic “[t]his is not a Christian nation” statement has ZERO bearing.

Go away now, libtard.

Hey Andrew…please cite the date that the Vikings founded the nation. That would lend at least minor credibility to your statement that we aren’t a Christian nation.

The school has a rule against beads. He’s got plenty of options… tuck them in, wear a crucifix without the beads, find another way to honor family members. And he can wear as many rosaries as he’d like before and after school.

The school should not make an exception for him. Lots of schools have this type of policy, not just about beads, but about rosaries in particular. the wearing of rosaries as a necklace has become a symbol for some Mexican gangs (and Madonna in the 80’s). Rosaries are prayer beads, not jewelry! I wonder how many people commenting on this child’s oppresion as a Christian would come to the defense of a Mexican teen (covered in tattoos and wearing “gangsta” clothing) in a Los Angeles public school with a similar policy.

Home school. Everybody! Keep the government out of our kid’s lives!!!

There is no need to create a national uproar here. The student can easily wear the beads inside a shirt and pay the same homage and respect as otherwise worn. Now, if hhe is on course to promote a disturbance, he can flaunt his religious preference (which I share). Christ admonished us to pray “in secret” so that our fellow citizens cannot hear, but that our “Father in heaven will hear” and reward us appropriately.

“The Rosary is to be prayed, not worn casually as a fashion accessory!”

That is what I was taught in Catechism, a Rosary isn’t jewelry, or bling as they calls it now.

OK, How many gangs are there in Schenectady anyway?? It’s not like this is Compton and kids are dying everywhere… The next time someone is assaulted by Rosary beads, I’m sure we will hear about it. The principle needs to learn a little common sense and get his head out of his ass…

I don’t see the words Separation, Church, or State in the 1st Amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

THERE IS NO LAW FROM CONGRESS THAT SAYS ‘Separation of Church and State’.
Look Mom, I can read.

Rosary beads are gang related? Really? This boy is simply trying to honor his family members. IF they wanna talk about what’s gang related, everything can be. I can go to the wrong neighborhood wearing the wrong color shirt, scarf, pants, and be killed. It’s all about seeing what they can get away with, and the wrong kids are the ones who are allowed to get away with the wrong things. @Kerry A, yes I would stand up in the defense of a hispanic, from whatever country, if he was treated wrongly. I don’t like the fasion that kids wear (have 2 teens myself, and no they don’t dress like other kids do around here), but dressing one particular way does not make you a good kid. Last time I checked, we still have rights in this country by way of the Constitution, no matter how much our government is currently trying to trash it.

typo: Was supposed to read: dressing one particular was does not make you a bad kid. One wrong word completely changes the meaning..lol

TXMike:
If I worshipped Mary I would be committing a sin mentioned in the ten commandments–thou shalt have no false gods before Me. Because, asa Catholic, it’s agaist my faith. I suppose if I came up to the girl you love, slapped her really hard and then came over to ask you a favour that you have no obligation to do you would say ‘No’. I know I would. I honor Mary as the Mother of God, as My mother, and helper. By honoring Mary I honor Jesus, and nothing gives more honor to Him then honoring his most loved creature, Mary, His Mother. I know I love my earthly mother and would do anything for her, and disown those who would hurt her.

Our schools are cesspools of idiocy. Take back America people. The revolution is coming.

Anthony, you cannot possibly be a stupid as you sound.

“Beads are beads”… what a dumb#ss statement coming from this little socialist, Eric D. Ely, the superintendent. It is obvious that intelligence or common sence are not prerequisites for superintendent of any school.

The rules are clearly stated. This is not a religious issue and making it out as such is just one more absurd right wing conspiracy about “lost rights”.

The rule is “no beads” on the outside of a shirt. He could wear them on the inside but his mom, who evidently doesn’t want to teach her son to play by the rules, wants to turn this into another soapbox moment of the big bad government telling people what to do.

It’s simple. Lobby to change the rules but, in the meantime, play by them and understand that there is no “anti-Rosary/anti-Catholic” rule at play here. This has been on the books for some time and the kid is merely being told he can’t break the rules.

Or, better yet, continue to complain about everything that can be attributed to liberal government stepping on your toes. Whatever.

Prisons have lots of this type of rules for the criminal class,the high school class should not be treated like common criminals.

Yeah, one of the biggest problems at the high school in my town is roving gangs of Catholics. They do things like say hello to you, and shout phrases like “have a nice day”. This kind of behaviour needs to stop.

Allison,

America was founded on basic Judeo-Christian principles. It is CLEAR you have never read the numerous writings of the Founding Fathers. Not what others have written about them, but their own words (and not a couple of quotes).

Furthermore, Jefferson’s “wall of separation” was made in a letter to a group of Baptist clergymen, who feared their church would become the state-sponsored religion. It was to protect the church FROM THE STATE. If the government established a state religion, the government would then dictate the terms of said religion. Again, it was to protect the church from the state.

The government is prohibited from setting up a STATE RELIGION, not removing religion from the state.

These so-called “adults” who are making all these assinine rules need to GROW UP! They act like they are scared to death of “gangs” and they MUST restrict EVERYONE rather than crack down on troublemakers at school. It is absurd and stupid and childish and obviously motivated by more misguided POLITICALLY CORRECT BU11SH1+!

“However, the Code of Conduct in Schenectady states beads are not allowed because they could potentially indicate a connection to a gang.”

Oh yeah: A “GANG” of rosary-praying Catholics!?!

ENOUGH ALREADY!

Prisons have lots of this type of rules for the criminal class

Marigrace S. May 21st, 2010 – 11:08 pm

I honor Mary as the Mother of God, as My mother, and helper.

****** Either your english is horrible or you are uneducated or you do not understand the nature of God. Eternal God does NOT NEED a mother. There is NO SUCH THING AS mother of God. AGAIN GOD is eternal. Jesus existed before Mary. DID NOT NEED HER TO EXIST HERE ON EARTH and as I stated before He created her. Also you capitalization of the letter M in mother gives you away as an idolator of Mary.

By honoring Mary I honor Jesus.

****** No in fact you are NOT. Again only God is worthy of our worship or honor or devotion NOT His creation. You are 100% in error on this issue and I do not point this out to belittle you but to prevent others from making the same error that you have made.

He deserved it! Schools deal in science and fact NOT science fiction or fairy tales. Religion is a crutch for prisoners, the elderly, the terminally ill and mental defectives…in other words, Republicans and Tea Baggers. Worship in private, Christian freaks!

If an illegal mexican kid was wearing it-though, No Problemo.

Knock it off! Believe in Catholicism or not, the basic fact remains that religion is under assault. Any value that is Judeo-Christian is under assault and people had better stop bickering about theology and stand united in the fact of aetheistic materialism. The inabilty of some to stay on topic is a symptom of the complete and utter failure to face and deal with the forces creating havoc with America.

Alison: “Suspending this kid for wearing rosary beads is ridiculous. But claiming that this nation was built on the belief in God is ignorant. Most of the Founding Fathers were not particularly religious men. And the one who was the most religious – James Madison – was also the most outspoken about the necessity for separation of church and state, because he believed that involvement in government always corrupts the church. Those who wish to paint the Founding Fathers as Jerry Falwells in powdered wigs are either willfully ignorant, or willfully distorting history.”

Wrong again! Read some of Jefferson’s writings sometime. NOWHERE in the founding documents do you see the phrase “Separation of Church and State”…period. Jefferson referred to such in a single letter to an obscure Baptist congregation, but he was talking about avoiding a STATE RELIGION, which was the norm in Europe at the time. NOT the same thing as kicking God out of government affairs at all.

To the progressive, religion is a real threat. They must teach our children that the state will take care of them, not God. There cannot be both the religion of the Progressive and Christainity, or any other religion; they are incompatable. They attack Christainity because it is the largest, but all religions are off limits to the progressive. For progressives to take over America they must remove God from our lives and our history. And they are doing a great job!

Well they better darn well kick out or suspend any muslim(small m deliberate because it is NOT a religion, never has been…it is a sick anti-woman pedophlia cult) girls who show up wearing a burka….because that is DEFINITELY a membership in a terrorist gang!

Why oh why do intelligent people send their kids to gang-run public schools? Why do we pay for these institutions? When will this end?

While you are waiting for November 2nd…

Doesn’t it seem odd that almost everything Obama does is counter to popular opinion, like standing with Calderon and insulting Americans? The same holds true for things he ignores, like securing our Southern border. Not just these two examples but ALMOST EVERYTHING.

Obama is biding his time while purposely irritating the majority of Americans. He is waiting for an incident like the Timothy McVeigh, Oklahoma City bombing or another 9/11 attack.

When it occurs, Obama will ride a wave of public support and push his Socialist agenda either by Congressional legislation or EXECUTIVE ORDER. A month or so before November 2nd would be perfect.

The first target will most likely be the Internet, talk shows, Fox news or any service that allows citizens to gain information by sources other than the puppet MSM. This will effectively neuter Conservative communications.

TRAITORS…

If this were some black kid wearing his best bling, nothing would be said. If the kid were from Mejico and was wearing rosary beads it would be considered part of the culture. If someone were wearing dog tags to honor a member of the military they would probably be thrown out too. Political correctness run amok.

Why, oh why, does anyone voluntarily hand their precious child off to a govt owned and opperated institution?

Mine will do when they are pried from my cold, dead fingers.

yes, yes, I typoed. mea culpa. ‘operated’ and ‘will do so’

anthony please don’t be a any kind of statesman

Thank you all for standing up for this Catholic symbol, but the rosary is not meant to be worn as jewelry. It is to be used to pray to Our Lady. However, this young man was told to take it off because it was a Catholic symbol not because it was disrespectful to the Blessed Mother. How very sad that such a symbol of love and peace may be used as a gang symbol. For those you pray the rosary, offer one up in faith that those who have no idea what these beautiful beads mean will come to know her.

I am a Christian, but from what I hear they did not tell him to take it off. they said to tuck it in. they said that gangs were using beads to show their affiliations, so the school deemed beads as improper (being displayed). they didnt tell him to take them off just not to display them…if he displays them no matter what the reason then they would have to let everyone display them, and this would escalate their gang problem…pay attention, and use your logic before jumping on your soap boxes…

Can anyone say lawsuit? Actions by a school to restrict the free practice of religion have been fodder for countless lawsuits (successful). This kid should sue the pants off them.

That school principle needs to be put into detention…..

Airliner crashes in India, 160 dead…TOO BAD THERE WEREN’T ANY TEA PARTIERS ON THE PLANE!!

Bow down and worship the one true Son of God – Jesus Christ.

The Rosary, Veneration (worship) of Mary, Dead Saints and the “Holy Father” (Pope) is paganism and blasphemy.

The Bible is the ONLY instruction manual needed.

Repent and Believe!

The nuns in my Catholic school forbid us to wear rosaries. They taught us that it was disrespectful to use an article meant for prayer as jewelry. They would be aghast at gang bangers who wear rosaries as bling.

If devout Catholics don’t wear rosaries, then the school is not limiting religious self-expression by banning the wearing of rosaries. The school is doing the right thing to track and deter gang insignia inside the school. Would you object if the school banned certain color combinations to protect your child’s safety?

A caring adult should help young Raymond find another way to honor his uncle and brother. Even better, if he doesn’t know how to pray the rosary, someone could teach him to use the rosary to pray for his family and for his school.

I’ve read statements like, he can just “tuck” them in and all is fine, but that is “censure.” The point is, he shouldn’t have to hide them away. The question here is if the school has the legal right to ask him to tuck them away, or if he can wear them openly. Given the Tinker v Des Moines Supreme court decision in support of students and their rights to express “silent speech”, it’s not likely the school can or will win this one. We should also consider that the student has been wearing the rosary “openly” since the beginning of the school year. Does it not raise any eyebrows that the school just now decided to enforce the rules that they have made?

Although I see it as a common view, the position that “rules are rules” is not a valid argument. Rules are not permitted to violate the constitutional rights of an individual, no matter how the school may choose to see things. You can claim that the student was being disobedient, but when policies and rules are unfair (and potentially illegal), and they work against us, shouldn’t we practice civil disobedience? In addition, I’ve read the demand letter from the ACLJ. It was respectful and cited the court cases. The school has chosen to not take action, so the courts have to.

I read up on the Chalifoux v. New Caney case – I bothered to take the time and read the entire thing (too much time on my hands perhaps) and this gives strong precedence in favor of the student. (And the findings also address how the rosary is worn, so it doesn’t matter if the student is wearing them improperly or not, based on the findings of the court, it was irrelevant.) Frankly, I think it’s appropriate to challenge and stand up for our rights. It doesn’t matter if people feel the child is being “defiant” or “insubordinate”, he has the legal right to excercise his first amendment rights at the school no matter what anyone else may feel, and the Tinker decision clearly addresses it.

Schools should teach us our rights and responsibilities as part of our education system, not tread upon them. Besides, it puts the schools in a position to re-think how they write a dress code, and it holds them to a level of accountability they seem to think they can ignore for the moment. Remember, this is not a private school, it recieves federal subsiides, so they must play by the rules.

All of this bantering, gnashing of teeth and beating of breast is nonsensical. This was in a public,
non secular school -
Irregardless of sanctimoniousness of this student, the rule is for everyone who wants to attend this school.

If you want to display chrisitan emblems than spent the money and go to a Catholic School. period-

But dont wear your Christianity like a badge of honor and respect-cause not everyone is enthralled or should be by your faith.

Obey the school rule and there will be no crisis.

YOU DO NOT WEAR THE ROSARY AS JEWELRY. IT IS DISRESPECTFUL. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FREEDOM OF SPEECH- go back to catechism.

common sence, wow what intelligence.
Perhaps we should put you in charge of what people can wear to assure that there is nothing worn that would cause anyone offense.
Maybe everyone can wear a unisex gray smock. Rosary beads are sure frightening.
