Kid lives in Hempstead, New York, a Long Island town. He owns a shirt, “Hempstead, NY 516,” the latter being the area code for town.
School officials in his new home are not amused.
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.
“We don’t understand this here kid slang stuff, with all their ‘hep’ lingo and all, but, by cracky, we won’t have no mention of their ‘hemp’ or secret codes in this here school!”
