Schoolboy expelled for doodling his own initials in his notebook

[MODU]

Obviously, we don't have the full picture here, but who is to say that even though the kids initials are DLK, he wasn't actually drawing the gang symbol for DLK?  I'd like to see his doodle as well as the matching gang symbol for comparison.

As his stepfather rightly pointed out, the doodle was in his notebook, and not on a wall or something.

Oh, I know that.  I'm just curious about what was actually drawn.  Also, I don't know what the school policies are in regards to gang logo's.  It might be a strict policy that, even though it was in a notebook, if it was visible to other students, it might be against their rules.

Even if it were the initials of the gang, how, exactly, would this have been grounds for expulsion...?

That's why I said earlier that we do not know what the schools policy is.  Visible gang logos could very well be grounds for expulsion.

Have the images from his notebook been released yet?
