ALBANY, Ore. (AP) - A pair of Albany teenagers were suspended from high school for a few days recently because they were wearing crucifixes that school officials called "gang-related behavior."

Fourteen-year-old Jaime Salazar and his friend, 16-year-old Marco Castro, say their mothers gave them the crucifixes - and they deny they're involved with any gangs.

But South Albany High School Principal Chris Equinoa is clear about the school district's position. He says religious items are not banned. But he reserves the right to ask a student to remove, or cover up, any item he feels could indicate gang affiliation - even a crucifix.

A spokesman for the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Portland says the archdiocese has no reports of gangs using crucifixes to identify themselves in Western Oregon.

But Albany police say fellow officers in Salem and Hillsboro have been contending with crucifixes and rosaries as gang markers for the past several years.

What is this nation coming to. Before you know it kids will be suspended for wearing silver dildo's on a chain or drinking milk from pussy shaped mugs.

I respectfully disagree. When I lived in LA one of the local gang’s insignia was a crucifix the size of the cross worn by Greek Orthodox priests. These punks were no missionaries!

Of course, that was in Los Angeles.

If anyone said this about the Star of David they would be called names and be facing a lawsuit, even if it was true.
