>>Could you be more specific? Are you a member of a holy order? Is this a Carmelite Scapular Metal? Do you wear it outside your clothing?<

Sorry I’m late.
I am concecrated by the Louis De Montfort method. So are my girls and yes we it outside of our clothing.

So who deems it correct?

No problem... I'm pretty short on time today, too.

I guess the short answer would be that the C of E would likely recognize the brown scapular as integral to the Christian faith, as it was an established tradition long before their split with Rome. You'd have to ask an Anglican Bishop for a more official ruling.

I question whether an exemption should be necessary, however. It is unusual to wear the scapular outside of clothing — the Pope doesn't. A scapular worn under clothing would not violate the school's policy. Insisting that it must be worn visibly would be an act of scrupulousness.
