the reverand C-"At my school Muslims are allowed to wear headscarves and other faiths can wear bangles and other types of jewellery and it feels like Christians are being discriminated against," Playfoot told BBC Radio 4’s Today program.

Ring should not be part of uniform at all.
She has right what ever she is wearing according to her belief sincerely. Specially when it may promote decency in society.
I am a Muslim and I think, wearing that ring may propmote decency in society. As a Muslim we support all good practices.

I've changed my mind after reading some of the posts below me. If she knew going in to the school that she wasn't supposed to wear a ring, yet did anyway, then she is in the wrong... the school has a right to set policy. this isn't even really a religious issue, since a virginity ring has no histoical religious connotations that I'm aware of.

From what I understood, jewelry cannot be worn in that school. It is not an allowable part of the school uniform.
It has nothing to do with "her" religion, it is all jewelry. If the ring was a symbol of her faith, such as "cross" earings, etc. and mandated by her faith to wear it, then they would accept it.
But there is not christian tradition, that demands specific jewelry to be worn (so that is why she lost)...
The purity ring was not an integral part of the Christian faith and that it contravened its uniform policy.
Fox news is so full of crap and bias.

Hmmmmmmm, I think this needs to be fought..... she is with in her rights to wear the ring...... I agree that young people also need to learn about the option of staying pure and saying NO...... Something needs to be done in this world..... I am tired of seeing babies having babies...... These type of classes also help these young people realize they can say NO and live through it, having sex is part of a commetment, NOT just something to do because everyone else is...... These classes could also save lives...... STD's are killing people !!!!! young and old...... and there has to be a coming together of ALL the different teachings and classes to get the job done.......... The schools need to back off....... go in peace......... God bless

In this case the school is in the right. This particular school has a dress code which forbids jewelry. The policy is known and student agree to follow the school rules before they are accepted for admittance. Student who don't agree to the policy have the option of attending less desirable schools.

West Ridge might desire to make certain despite if or no longer they are interior the splendid league or convention if all their opposition is doing this to them. by using an identical token, if Christian historical past is blowing everybody out, possibly they might desire to be in a extra durable league. you at times see this in early season college video games, while Kansas will play the recent England Tractor Trailer college (humorous tale) or another mismatch.

Geez, what a shame. It sometimes seems as if everything is relative and accepted as that person's "thing" until Christianity creeps in...sad. The person who said they didnt trust fox Heres a link from the bbc news corp.

She has to win. Britain has been insane lately, what with 'vetting' young people and the mixing of cow ovum with human DNA. Now they are continuing this rather surprising insane behavior with this.
I wonder what is driving Britain lately. Perhaps the Atheists have more control there than what I would have thought before.
Please don't mind Meerkat, stupidity is rather common here.

Sorry, but I don't believe anything that Faux News says. They're very unreliable due to their bias.
Edit: I'll check that out in a bit, Lucid Freedom. Thanks :)
If it is true, then I certainly agree that she should be allowed to wear it and the school is in the wrong.

I think purity rings are silly - but I would vehemently defend her right to wear it. That is an example of absolute ridiculousness.
