From AP via the The Indianapolis Star:
Officials have banned pink clothing for the remainder of the school year out of concerns that the color has become associated with gang activity. …
“There is no evidence of gang activity. But because of the growing use of the color pink we decided to be proactive. Girls and boys are supposed to avoid wearing pink,” Berta said Monday.
None of the district’s 6,500 students have been disciplined for wearing pink, he said.
