It's probably the first step in the implimentation of a chastity belt law.

I don't get it, why would they ban them?

Chastity education doesn't work, but this sounds like stupid government intervention.

That's rather bizarre. I can't think of a single reason why a school would need to ban someone from wearing a ring that symbolizes chastity.

Or a ring that symbolizes anything, for that matter.

Ya know... there is relatively nothing in this story that indicates the school's position at all.

Just a vague first paragraph followed by a discussion on sex education in general.

Is this what passes for journalism nowadays at Reuters?

I'm sure it doesn't have a statistically significant impact on teen pregnancy/abortion but if it gives even a few a better or more meaningful life it is a worthy endeavor. I really don't see how those truly interested in the welfare of our children could consider this a threat to their sex education programs yet it seems they must.

Sounds like you believe they may have a defensible position?

From this article, I'm not clear on their position.

There is something vaguely unnerving about people running round school yards vaunting their piety.
