When a doodle is something more
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Happy Thanksgiving! My original plan was to post something about teachers we’re thankful for, but that must be saved for another day.
A student at North Cobb High was suspended for three days because a doodle he drew on an assignment is associated with a gang.
The student’s father says he’s not in a gang. But police say the picture of a six-pointed star with a vertical line is associated with the Folk Nation gang.
Cobb County has suspended students in the past for gang-related drawings. Is that too harsh a penalty?
Can a doodle just be a doodle?
