Chasity (sp?) rings banned in some schools?

Lydia isn't like that.
I personally feel it's a publicity stunt.

I belivee head scarfs shouldn't be allowed and necklaces should.

what's your reason for that?


i'm pretty sure I could find a necklace that is as obvious as a headscarf if that's your issue.

people should be allowed to wear what they want relating to their religion. what harm does ring/headscarf etc. do?

Sounds a bit unfair to me, Why should people get to ware something others cant just because there religious? Are aithiests not allowed to express there beliefs then? Isnt that kinda double standard.
Its not like ANY of the religions actually require any of there followers to ware head scarfs or "chastity rings" or "cross's" or anything else.

I mean, for god sake, if your going to practice a religion at least actually read your given holy text. Its incredible how ignorant most people are of the religious beliefs they claim to follow.

Personally, no i don't see a problem with people wearing any of this stuff, not because it has anything to do with religion, purely for reasons of freedom of expression, im happy for anyone to ware pretty much what ever they want for what ever reason.
If for some reason you need everyone to ware a specific set of things though, it really should apply to everyone.

The principle is that religions generally don't tell you to wear anything. Head scarves are just a symbol of the oppression of women in some religions. Same with crucifixes/crosses or these rings, the Bible doesn't say it's necessary so there's no need. If your school or workplace doesn't want you to then there's no need to be arguing or whinging about it.

I think if religious people were allowed to wear whatever they wanted to school... it would start off a rebellion most likely. e.g "they can wear this so why can't I"?
