Students at Montgomery Blair High School are upset about a new policy requiring them to wear color-coded identification badges. The new badges are color-coded by the students' grades, and the lanyards worn around their necks designate 11 categories of learning 'academies' represented at the 3,000-student campus in Silver Spring, Md. Seniors wear black badges, students in magnet programs wear white and those who have limited English proficiency wear yellow. Principal Phillip Gainous said they thought they were doing a good thing. They hoped to build a sense of identity and security for students at a school where students are broken into smaller learning communities. But students said the system emphasizes existing divisions among the students.
