[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]By most accounts, Marlon Morgan is a great kid. The soft-spoken junior plays basketball for Saguaro High School. He was nominated for Youth of the Year last year by a branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Scottsdale.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]So why were his friends wearing "Free Marlon" T-shirts last week?

The 17-year-old had just been arrested over lunch for wearing his baseball cap sideways instead of to the front, and refusing to turn it the other way.

Marlon, who is Black, believes he was singled out. Other teens in the same room were wearing their hats that way.

Ah yes, Marlon is of the Black ethnicity.

Apparently there were several White students wearing their hats sideways as well.

It's about time they started arresting people for dress violations.
