I'm stunned and pained by the apparent lack of intelligence involved in this decision. Apparently a city in Indiana has decided to ban the color pink from schools on the premise that it might possibly be used as a gang color. They admit to having seen no associated gang activity, but they feel they're being proactive because of the increased use of the color. Did it ever occur to them that maybe with so many other colors being used by gangs kids have chosen one that isn't? Or that perhaps people simply like the color pink?

I mean come on, people. If anything might inspire gangs to pick up the color, it's being told they can't wear it. Now the only people with the guts to wear the color are the ones in the gangs who feel they can get away with it. Or the rebels who think they're going to have fun breaking the rules, and will therefore be labeled as gang members whether they are or not. This is just plain silly!
