I know we're talking about England here but the US usually isn't far behind or ahead. In the US freedom of religion means you don't get to dictate what my religious symbols are or mean.

Yet, I suspect you would be the first one to cheer if they were to abolish the scarf wearing like they do in french schools .

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.

     Horny losers?

I get it. A christian can't evangelize without jewelry.
I anxiously await the scripture.

Bet it's not there. Bet it's there that you are to respect those in a position of secular authority over you though.

Oh, dang. I should have read seagoons post before posting mine.

"Such groups have been given a publicity boost in recent weeks by the case of Lydia Playfoot, a 16-year-old who has taken her school to court over its decision to ban her from wearing her "silver ring" symbolising her chastity pledge."

Ummm it happened in London.. WTF does it have to do with lefties?

You're a bit late, the lefties have already come and gone. They put up a valiant defense for the muslims and sikhs I might add.
