ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- The town of Hempstead, New York, has a message
for Gwinnett County administrators: Before you target a student wearing
a Hempstead shirt, look at a map.

Terrell Jones, a student in Gwinnett County's Grayson High School, was
weeded out of a classroom by a school administrator because he wore a
shirt that read: "Hempstead, NY 516," a reference to the Long Island
town and its telephone area code.

According to Jones' family, which moved from Hempstead to the Atlanta
suburb, the school thought the shirt referred to marijuana. Jones wasn't
allowed to return to class until he persuaded school officials to search
the Internet for the town name.

The town's Web site says the area may have been named for Hemel-Hempstead,
England. Another theory cites the Dutch city of Heemstede, because settlers
had come years earlier from the Netherlands.

In any case, "before they would jump to any conclusions, they should be
sure of what they're talking about," town spokeswoman Susie Trenkle said
of the Georgia officials.

Hempstead is the nation's largest township, with 759,000 residents spread
across 22 villages and more than 142 square miles, she said.

The student's father, James Jones, said he wants an apology for Monday's
incident. School district officials did not return a call for comment.

Terrell Jones says he will keep wearing the shirt to school.

The hemp plant is related to the marijuana plant, and its fiber has been
used for centuries to make rope and other products. But it contains small
amounts of THC, the substance that gets people high, and U.S. farmers are
barred by federal law from growing hemp.

>how does crap like this even make news?

How does crap like this even happen in the first place?

Do you think it shouldn't be reported?

Do you think listening to taped police interviews with Scott Peterson is
more worthy?

There are hundreds of murder trials going on at any given time in the US
- why the hell should we be so much more interested in his trial?

And Kobe Bryant?  Leave him in the sports section where people who don't
give a shit about overpaid children won't have to be bothered about it.
