In a response to a request from local police, the Oklahoma City Public Schools enacted a policy prohibiting college and pro sports jerseys from being worn by students on school campuses. Some shirts had been adopted by local gangs as identifiers for them. The policy was instituted school-wide. An exception to the rule was made for local college and pro sports shirts, including Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and presumably any other in-state school. It is unclear whether this exception was made because of practicalities (it would be next to impossible to enforce, given the popularity of the Sooners, the Cowboys and the Thunder) or whether the school board just wanted to favor the local teams.
Although application of the well-intentioned rule to the kindergarten student seems ridiculous to us and it is unfathomable that the Michigan Wolverines would be a sign of any gang, the enforcement of the rule is hardly a sign of any cult.
