Ummmm...When I Googled “Kara bracelet” it showed up as related to the Sikh religion"

 It's unfortunate that the article didn't make the distinction that they were specific to Sikhs.....they lumped it all together in the sentence:

"Although the school allows Muslim and Sikh pupils to wear headscarves, trousers and kara bracelets as a cultural expression of their religion"

My bad...I stand corrected.

I am so very accustomed to Muslims being favored over Christians in society that I drew the wrong conclusion from the sentence.

It doesn't change the fact that the school isn't enforcing the jewelry ban consistently, however.

Interesting. But still, why can’t the Christian wear her little ring?

“I am so very accustomed to Muslims being favored...”

I understand. I wouldn’t have noticed except that I got curious about the Kara bracelet.

“It doesn’t change the fact...”

True.

“...I stand corrected.”

You may sit down. It’ll be easier to use the keyboard that that way :)
