Student Accused Of Breaking Dress Code For Wearing American Flag T-Shirt


Dustin Cole is a 12 year old honors student at Yuba Gardens Intermediate school. He was approached by school staffers who argued that the t-shirt he was wearing violated the school’s dress code for having “gang” symbols on it. The shirt in question is a typical California t-shirt with the patterns of the American flag on the background.

Speaking with the Appeal-Democrat, Ben Martin, a detective with the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department gang unit, stated that the t-shirt, originally purchased at Kohl’s contained multiple symbols associated with the state’s Norteno gang.

“The red star on the Bear Flag, which represents the Lone Star flag flown above Monterey in 1836 during Juan Alvarado’s revolt against the Mexican government, is also used by the Norteño criminal street gang,” Martin said. “Red is the gang’s color, the five points of the star represent ‘1+4’ and the 14th letter of the alphabet is ‘N.’”

“Inside the red star on Cole’s shirt, the number 31 is visible. The 31 on the shirt represents that California is the 31st state, but in gang iconography, 31 is the inverse of 13, which is used by the Sureño gang.”

The whole situation sounds a little confused, but probably not as confused as Dustin Cole, who is a straight-A honors student currently enrolled in the California Junior Scholastic Federation. Maybe the officials believed this was simply an elaborate cover for Dustin, but who can say? The situation would be more hilarious if it weren’t so pathetically typical of the aggressive and suspicious attitudes that liberals take to anyone who expresses a little patriotic pride, if it even is on a t-shirt.
