Removing religious gang symbols from schools may cut down on violence and religious intolerance since there would be nothing to identify students as being different from one another. Then students would have time to get know each other before they disliked each other because of their religious gang affiliation. Another reason for banning religious gang symbols is the separation of church and state. Since state owned schools are not supposed to teach any religion it would also make sense to ban religious gang symbols. Banning students that wear a cross or Star of David would be similar to banning street clothes in favor of school uniforms.
Sports can cause many disagreements.
Wearing a Rebels' jersey would identify a member of the Ole Miss gang and maybe the Harrison County Board of Education should ban sports paraphernalia from Harrison Central High School. The Confederate flag could be considered a gang symbol that incites hate and therefore be banned. An American flag could also be considered a gang symbol. We are a world of gangs. American gangs, Australian gangs, Canadian gangs, Republican gangs, Democratic gangs, Reform gangs, New York gangs, Mississippi gangs, Ranger gangs, Yankee gangs, Muslim gangs, Christian gangs and Jewish gangs.
