Re: Teenager banned from wearing a crucifix
The title of this thread is misleading. A teenager wasn’t banned from wearing a crucifix. She was banned from wearing a necklace. There is a wealth of difference.
I can only go along with the majority view that rules is rules is rules and if they are broken then the perpetrator should be punished. Whether the rules are good or bad is another issue entirely.
Jamie Derman was told not to wear the necklace or risk suspension if she did. It isn’t clear if she flouted the rules thereafter or if she was suspended though.
This point has already been stated but I will just reinforce the opinion that this storm in a teacup is media generated to sell newspapers.
