This really gets my goat, fuckin joke - a rule is a rule and the school were right to dismiss her FFS. "Unlawful discrimination" my arse. The judge should grow a pair.

Mick, I fully agree mate. The family knew the school rules when the lassie went there. When did she first start wearing the bangle? Could she not put up with the rules for the remainder of her time ate school?

A Christian girl lost her claim to the right of wearing a chastity ring. That ring and the kara are similar as they are not requirements of their faith but optional symbols. It would seem that our courts are inconsistent in these matters.

I am sure that her family could find a suitable school in Bombay...

It's only like that BA worker who got binned for wearing a crucifix - there was a media hullabaloo for a while before she was allowed back to work.

It's not her 'faith-bangle' I have a problem with: did you see the size of her moon-sized earrings she was wearing outside the High Court? Love to see her get into school with them on

yeah but didn't she have go back to work without wearing her cross and chain?

If I was the school head I'd tell the parents to take her elsewhere or to a Sikh school if she doesn't like the rules....twats.
