Chasity (sp?) rings banned in some schools?

[Niall!]

Well, Chasity rings are a symbol of christian religion, I think it's about not having sex before marridge? Anyhow, a school in england has banned them? I don't think that's exactly fair..

does anyone actually have one on here?

It'll be because the government think it might offend other pupils and yet head scarfs are allowed. It'll be the same thing that happened with the woman at BA.

[Faye]

I don't have one and i'm not religious , but I still don't think they should be banned. If they ban them then its like saying they have got to ban all other religious items as well.

[VPSwow]

I dont really know what they are but it shouldnt be banned if its your religion.

It's because in a religious view you shouldn't have sex before marriage. And as most people know, people born to unmarried parents are known as the b word.

Thats just sick, how can you ban somthing that is obviously important to that person in their life and what they follow.

You guys are refering Lydia from Millais. I used to go there and the uniform is extremely strict. No irrelevant jewellrey is allowed at all otherwise warnings and detensions are issued.
Muslims are allowed to wear headscarves at Millais as it's a requirement for their religion. There is no where in the bible that states that girls or boys need to show their chastity. If that was the case, this would be happening years before so.
The ring is no symbol of religion, and being at an all girls school, Lydia isn't telling anyone. Why should another girl be interested in her lack of wanting sex. Why should the teachers be interested (except one history teacher) and why should anyone want to know her intentions. Lydia has no intention in making this a school rule, it's all a publicity stunt. I used to know her she's a lovely girl but she has taken this all too far!
Also, I believe the ring will only cause likeliness of harrassment. To promote her intentions could mean that perverts who see her ring will try to change these intentions. Sex is a personal thing and your intentions shouldn't be flagged about. Especially one of viriginity.
When I was at Millais (started in 1999) everyone respected the uniform there was no way anyone would risk causing problems for teachers. It's a very scary school but boy did we get the discipline from it. Millais has changed a lot since I left in 2004 but I know I still have respect for them. I didn't dare put a finger wrong and if I did (sitting on desks) I learnt my lesson.
This publicity stunt will cause havoc at Millais now. If Lydia wins, all the girls will be trying to get something else e.g. black trousers rather than a bottle green skirt and removal of ties and wearing make up and jewellrey. These girls should respect the uniform code of conduct I cannot believe they are going against the school for a ridiculous ring that shows no religious symbol. If it was compulsory for them to wear this ring, then fine I'd want her to win. But the school has high standards with uniform. I hope they win.

Its a ring ... I'd understand if it was crucifix because thats a symbol of what christians believe but its a ring which is basicly saying >>>>>LOOK AT ME I'M A VIRGIN<<<<< I mean please come off it.

^^ what he says loll.

It depends, if a Christian came to school with a headscarf on and said it was because of their religion it'd still probably get removed anyway.
