Boy Suspended For Wearing Makeup?

[Mr. P]

My daughter's (Public) school has a dress code...complete with uniforms, etc.

That's great...It does make a major differance.

i loved dating the catholic school girls

Please never write the word 'dating' and show the icon near my writing the words 'my daughter'.


lol

I'm in denial. She's 5. 10 years from now, I'll still see her as 5.

gotta love all the religious tolerance we spread around. :blah2:

So do public school dress codes not override freedom of religion? Frankly, I would agree with you, STY, but Christians are regularly silenced when trying to wear "controversial" shirts, etc. Given the precedence, the ruling is in line. But I, like you, would rather that freedom of religion trumped dress codes.

It seems to me that the administration finally decided to take on the obvious challenge to thier authority. Guess if the dude is a Wiccan he's still free to go to a public school isn't he?

LOL...mine is 17...there's a point you just accept the good, the bad and ugly..don't know when it happened and still don't like it, but what are you gonna do? Maybe having a daughter is our punishment for....being male.

if there is, in fact, a dress code at the school then yes, it overrides religion. As far as christians being 'silenced', I think thats wrong also. School should not be a place for political, religious, or other forms of non-personal expression other than learning.

Or maybe being male whores in our day.
I can't wait for the first little punk (me ten years ago) to ring my doorbell
so I can chase him off like I got.
I don't think I'll shoot him in the ass with rock salt though....

So you think Christians being silenced from wearing their messages on T-shirts is wrong, but you also think that school is not a place for religious expression? You're gonna have to explain that one.

So you'd boot a Christian for wearing a cross? Where do ya draw the line here?

My school had a "everything" rule. Basicly it said we couldn't present
ourselves in any way to attract unusaul attention. That pretty much covered
whatever they wanted to.

since currently, religious expression is allowed, I think its wrong for ANYONE to be silenced be it christian, jewish, bhuddist, or wiccan.

my PERSONAL belief is that the schools should be free of all forms on non-personal expression (wearing a cross on a necklace would be fine, a t-shirt in the open would not) when it concerns religion or politics(throw in sexual orientation on both sides if you like).

kind of like article 142 of the UCMJ, the catch all article.

as I explained in another reply, a cross on a necklace under the shirt is fine. A t-shirt with a crucifix or some other such display would not be, in MY perfect world anyway.

You got it.

I don't know about y'all but Brittney Spears in the same school uniform as Phyllis Diller would STILL attract a lot more attention.

We didn't have uniforms, but I agree.
They used it to discriminate against all the "different" kids, cause they
knew that was the only legal way. Might have been the case for this kid.

This I can agree with.

I was not going to dignify your post with an answer but I can't let it go. I am VERY tolerant of others' beliefs. And if this is what this woman chooses, that IS her business. BUT this is in direct contradiction to Christ's teachings. I didn't realize you weren't a Bible believer.

I do not know 1 Wiccan (or someone who professes to be Wiccan) to be either a Satan worshipper or an Occultist....

Most simply follow the ways of Gaia...or Mother Earth, much the same way as the native American Indians did for thousands of years.

This is an interesting site that may shed a little light on the matter for you. http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcr5.htm

I mean no disrespect for anyone's religion, nor do I doubt anyone's faith....it is just another perspective that you may want to consider.

 

[SmarterThanYou]

This I do not agree with.

and thats fine, I just think it's a distraction to the purpose of school, which is to be taught and learn. Most students are capable of avoiding the distraction, but others are not. When its distracting, I think all forms should be banned, but again, thats just me.
