Now, first and foremost, I MEAN NO OFFENCE TO the Islamic Faith. My question is NOT directed at the Islamic Faith.





Moving on TO my question.. and I think you know where I'm going with this ppl...Can a rose be seen as a symbol of a religious faith and when will Nanny PC flip?

It does border upon the unfair and unjust. Some schools view the wearing of any jewellery as frivolous and a slight danger, ie bracelets and neck chains getting caught on chair and causing injury incurring law suit actions costing said school millions in payout.





The indulgence of cultural idiosyncrasies, is born more of the great gains and profiting said government of cuntry in question than an indulgent or pandering attitude per se.

Reply:The purity ring is not the same as the sikh bracelet. The sikh bracelet has been part of the culture and religion for much longer. The purity ring was invented by a certain group of American Christians and is not an essential relgious or cultural symbol. It was probably invented to make money and became popular after Britney Spears made it fashionable. See the difference?
