And they were correct in their argument. A purity ring is not an integral part of the Christian faith. I don't see how what they did was wrong, Prax. It seems to me they applied the school rules fairly.
Well first of all Im really asking if the ring is a good idea, not if this decision was right or wrong.

Second, that is is not an integral part of "the Christian faith" is purely subjective. What is The christian faith to you is not the same as to someone else. Same with Islam...is a veil really an integral part of the Islamic faith? Not all muslims would say it is
