If it was state-side, I would sue or at least get on TV…maybe a bookdeal out of it.

Yes, it is a crock. There is no question about it. Simply put, a Christian girl should be ready to be a whore or at least renounce her faith…but heaven forbid if a Muslim cannot express her faith
 
When I asked a coworker to change her shift pattern when on early roster by a few minutes so I could get to mass before coming to work, she blew me out. Our team manager wasnt interested and as I was new I didnt kick up a fuss. I just left it.

We had a woman in our team ‘‘declare’’ to the whole section she would not be in to work depending on when Eid fell.

Not a word was said about it. She can make the time up whenever she likes.

Im happy for her. I really am. But play fair with everyone or noone.

Notice that Mahometans are given special rights to violate the school’s uniform policy on the basis of their religious beliefs, but a Christian girl (believing the same thing professed by Mahometans) is not allowed to express HER religious beliefs.

The eastern churches (God bless them) have survived far worse persecution - and yes, this is persecution - than most of us in the west. Now, thanks to extreme secular humanism, Christianity, and I might say particularly (though not exclusively) Catholicism, is the target here in the west. Even the Mormons in California are being targeted with the brown-shirt tactics of the left. We Christians better learn to put our differences aside, because to borrow from Ben Franklin, we must either hang together, or we will certainly hang separately.

Hi

I think Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists ,Hindus and Atheists etc should be equally and nicely treated in every educational instituition.

Thanks
 
Muslim girls should certainly be banned from wearing headscarves on their fingers during PE, technology or science lessons.

Hi

Well I have never heard of these “**headscarves on their fingers **”.

In my opinion the head scarves as is evident are worn on heads not on fingers.

Kindly elaborate, if you please

Thanks

The school said that the girl couldn’t wear the ring because of danger to the finger in certain classes (more like the dangers of them getting sued if she lost her finger, I expect), ok?

People are busy fussing over the iniquity of Muslim girls wearing headscarves being allowed but not a Christian girl with a ring, ok?

My comment was a sarcastic way of pointing out that the two were not similar cases because, obviously, Muslim girls wore their headscarves on their heads and not on their fingers.

Why must they discriminate against the followers of the Jonas Brothers? It’s almost as if being a Jonarian is a crime.
 
While I must agree that banning a purity ring because it violates a previous dress code banning all rings hardly qualifies as religious discrimination, more blatant forms of anti-Christian discrimination in schools are rampant in the United States right now. There are many, many cases of Christian kids being forced to take off or cover up clothing with Christian symbols or sayings, while other kids with pagan or Muslim symbols, or even blatantly Satanic stuff on their clothes are left alone. Christian kids have been told that if they wear a cross or Crucifix, they have to wear it inside their shirt, while other kids walk around with big silver ankhs or pentagrams hanging from their necks and nobody says a thing. Christian-themed student organizations are constantly being banned at public schools, while yet again, pagan and Muslim groups are left alone, or even facilitated by the school. And the excuse that’s always given for it is some garbage about “tolerance”. Search on the web for this kind of thing, and the number of hits you get will boggle your mind.

Hi

OK thank you.
 
A headscarf in a science lab can be risky if it is not properly fastened away from chemicals or flame. In PE, it could present a strangulation issue, depending on the sport.

AMEN BROTHER!!!
 
Has any one mentioned that there’s no such thing as Mahometans, unless maybe your a late 19th century British anthropologist?
 
I could see the school asking that the girl remove her “purity ring” for safety reasons during certain parts of the day, and I could just as easily see the school asking Muslim girls to remove their headscarves during some parts of the day for the same reason. The fact that one occurs and the other does not probably has more to do with the chance that the girl could hurt others accidentally with her ring (during gym class or what have you), while the girls with the headscarves would be much less likely to.

Frankly, I don’t see much of a religious element to the story. If the girl had just been wearing the ring because she thought it was pretty and it had nothing to do with her religious convictions, she would probably still be asked to take it off.

She should be free to wear it during any and all portions of the school day during which it does not pose a potential hazard, though.
