This 15-Year-Old Was Suspended For Doing Something White Kids Do All the Time - PolicyMic:
On Feb. 3, assistant principal Todd Nichols summoned him out of
class. Nichols showed Dontadrian a photo he had posed for during a
recent biology project, in which the boy had his hand up displaying
three raised fingers – his thumb, forefinger and middle finger. “You’re
suspended,” said Nichols, “because you’re holding up gang signs in this
picture.”
Three days later, a disciplinary committee confirmed Dontadrian’s
punishment: “Indefinite suspension with a recommendation of expulsion.”
