And so the long, slow march to tyranny continues unabated.

What a charming face! I’m sorry she lost, but I hope she’ll keep the faith in spite of the discrimination against her.

The school says “no jewelry”.

She wears jewelry and gets upset when she gets in trouble for... breaking the rule.

It shouldn’t matter if the ring stood for virginity, dancing with snakes, incest or abortion. The rule says “no jewelry”.

The arguments in the girl’s favor are simply stupid.

Anything BUT Christianity is acceptable to the left.

Freedom of Religion is not allowed in the UK.

The judge wouldn’t dare do that to muslims.. because they’d murder his family in retribution.

And yet Sikhs can carry a Kirpan to school in Britain (Canada too).

If the school rules state no jewelry, why then are teachers allowed to wear it and others allowed bracelets? Stupid Brits can never get anything right when it comes to Christians.

Where is the ACLU for this blatant infringement on this sweet child’s freedom? This is ridiculous, and if people sit still for it, we deserve what we are in for! Of course, I guess most people now resemble those characters in “St. Elmo’s Fire”, where sex before marriage and drugs are the norm, and keeping pure for your future husband is corny. No wonder God is removing his protection from this country!

Perhaps the liberals who want to give foreign terrorists U.S. Constitutional rights should now have us arrest the U.K. government for denying this girl hers.

The rule at the school is NO JEWELRY. This applies to everyone!

Now, if they forbid her to wear her jewelry because it had a religious connotation and everyone else could where jewelry, then THAT would be discrimination.

I do wonder, however, if a muslim would be held to the same compliance??

By the calendar, she’s just a girl. But the reality is, that’s a fine woman right there with a wisdom beyond her years.

Her Majesty Government should hope for 100,000 just like her.

She has done a lot more than show the ring. Good fight. She carried a lot more influence and media going to the High Court than she would have if they had just let her wear the ring to school. God chuckles.

Lydia Playfoot, 16, says her silver ring is an expression of her faith and had argued in court that it should be exempt from school regulations banning the wearing of jewelry.

I don't know, it sounds pretty fair. Next you'd have Islamofascists claiming exemptions in a school that banned burkas or hajibs.

They said allowances were made for Muslim and Sikh pupils only for items integral to their religious beliefs and that, for the same reason, crucifixes were also allowed.

It doesn't appear that they're picking on Christians; they just don't agree that a chastity ring is integral to religious belief. Maybe her group could accept a crucifix to serve in lieu of a ring. In fact, if I were her I'd have a jeweler make the ring an integral part of the crucifix.

As a cool protest they should all use a magic marker (black sharpie) and draw a ring around their ringfinger.
