"They told me I couldn't wear 18 anymore because it's a gang number and I had to take it off," Konnor Vanatta told FOX31 in Denver....

To think I used to be a Peyton Manning fan. You just never know any more. Peyton would be a swell guy and a great football player if only he'd change that jersey number.

Greeley, Colorado has an enormous gang problem. Gangs recruit as young as 6 and 7 years old. Gang initiates are sometimes brutally beaten and usually introduced into crime to benefit the gangs even at those early ages. "Colors" can often get you killed if you happen into a rival gang turf. Even a third grader is not immune. I spent 12 years working alongside gang suppression officers. I attended gang seminars and witnessed the aftermath of gang initiations. I, personally, applaud those who are trying to reach out to kids in elementary schools to try to break the gang stranglehold obvious in the area of Greeley. The attached article has some insight into the area and the problems being addressed:
GANGS IN GREELEY: Living in a gang neighborhood
"Fighting Back"
Sociologist Carlie supports the idea that neighborhood traits that foster gang activity can be reversed -- but only if residents are willing to take up the cause.
In other words, rather than barricading themselves inside after sunset, Carlie encourages people in gang-saturated areas to start Neighborhood Watch programs, explore ideas for more youth activities and arrange meetings with police."
"...As they gathered near the yellow tape, a couple of them exchanged banter about their gang ties.
"My cousin's in a gang," said 10-year-old Jasmine Vizcaino, who said her cousin in a member of the Sureņos.
A boy who claims his brother is with the Norteņos fires back: "He's lucky my brother is on the ankle monitor."

Greeley gang violence frustrates community members
"GREELEY Five gang-related shooting incidents one in which an officer killed a man suspected of taking part in gang-related gunfire on Father's Day may be enough to kick-start what some would say is a necessary community conversation.
"I'm really upset," said Art Terrazas, who has worked to end gangs and gang violence for several years. "We're losing kids, whether they're 10 or 26, like the guy that got shot Friday. It's idiotic."

Peyton Manning jerseys barred under Colorado school district's dress code
"The district has had an anti-gang dress code since at least the 2008-09 school year, forbidding students from wearing blue and red shirts, belts and shoe laces. They are also prohibited from wearing jerseys with the numbers 18, 13 and 14 — the latter two because of their association with the Sureņo and Norteņo gangs — and the reverse numbers, 31, 41 and 81.
Student must not have shaved or notched eyebrows; cannot wear red or blue "Dickies" or "Southpole" brand pants, shorts or shirts; or red or blue
bandana or any color bandana that is draped on clothing or hanging out of a pocket.
The purpose, Fiedler said, is to minimize gang activity in school.
"Since we did put this in place, we have had a reduction in the reports or incidents of students displaying gang attire and affiliation, he said.
The 18th Street gang is still a menace in the community, according to prosecutors."

Uniforms solve all kinds of problems. I wish all schools would adopt them although I know that, too, is often met with objections.

It's such a shame that kids have to grow up not being able to just be kids and wear what they want. It's rewarding to me to see the parents who so desperately want a better life for their kids getting help to turn their neighborhoods around.

I think it's more how they're dealt with. This kid could have been told not to wear it anymore in school instead of being told to take it off. JMO

School seizes 16-year-old boy's rosary beads because they are 'gang symbol'
In an alarmingly over the top ruling a Colorado high school confiscated rosary beads from a student because officials believed he was wearing them to mark affiliation to a gang.
Manuel Vigil was outraged when staff at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland accused him of being part of a gang, forcibly taking his religious symbol from him and refusing to return it.
The 16-year-old and his family are strong Catholics and he insists he wears the beads to protect himself from harm, having at no point been a part of a gang.
