The United States flag is gang related.

At least according to some school administrators in Olivehurst, California.

The shirt includes a red star in the corner with the number 31, and "California" is printed underneath the American flag design, which appears in the shape of a bear. California was admitted as the 31st state in 1850.

A school official, however, said the red star on the shirt blurs the line between free speech and safety, Fox 40 reported. The star, the school said, is often associated with the Norteno gang.

"Our local gang task force, they identify colors, they identify designs, they identify all of the things that we should be aware of," Ramiro Carreon, assistant superintendent at Marysville Joint Unified School District, told the station.

"That design has been associated with gangs in the past, and we cannot just turn a blind eye to that," Carreon said.

Perhaps the reason some people call California part of the “loony” left coast?
