Syracuse, NY - A federal judge today approved a lawyers' agreement allowing a Schenectady school student to continue wearing a rosary outside his clothing pending a court hearing in September.
Syracuse lawyer Raymond Dague said the new court oversight was sought after school officials forced 13-year-old Raymond Hosier into two days of detention last week after an earlier court order returning the boy to school.
Share Hosier, a seventh-grade student at Oneida Middle School in Schenectady, was suspended last month after school officials decided he was violating the school's gang-related clothing ban by wearing the rosary beads outside his shirt at school.
The boy contends he wears the rosary as a sign of his Christian faith and in memory of his deceased brother and uncle. the rest

In some schools teachers and principals think that students who are wearing rosaries are merely showing off that to which gang they belong. That is why they ban such stuffs. But how far is it correct to see holy things as a thing of violence?
