Manning’s jersey number “18″ is affiliated with an area gang (along with Broncos wide receiver Brandon Stokley’s number “14″ and the numbers 13, 31, 41, and 81), students aren’t allowed to support the quarterback....First reported by the USA TODAY...hird grader Konnor Vanatta s told “to remove his jersey because of its gang ties.”...“We are excited about the cultural enrichment and diversity that we have in Weld District 6,” she said....
Not everyone agrees on the cultural enrichment to the schools of Greeley....“A community, just like any nation, cannot rely on diversity as a benefit to society when it reaches a point where there’s nothing left that we have in common. There’s a great saying that a nation is not defined by what it debates, it’s defined by what it has in common, what it takes for granted,”
Is it just me, but does it seem that we Americans are the only ones being asked to submit to foreign cultural norms? I see mayor's, city councils, etc., talking about "cultural diversity", "inclusion" and all manner of clap-trap, but none of these so-called "leaders" ever seem to ask the newcomers to understand they are not home anymore.

Kids can't wear a certain number? A colored shirt? Is this really what we've come to?

If I was Peyton Manning, I would sue that school district for damaging his image/franchise by associating him with gangs. Of course, that would never happen.

Thank you illegal immigration. And most of all I would like to thank the "great mothers" who think 7 kids isn't enough.

To be a baby factory and live off of others isn't contributing anything to society.

I doubt the Duggers kids will be shooting anyone over a heroin deal anytime soon.
