I'm not a Christian but if your information is correct, she should be allow to wear it, or nobody should.

WTF?? Last time I looked, a headscarf wasn't "jewelry".

A [url=http://www.sikhwomen.com/sikhism/notjustsymbols.htm#Kara (Iron bracelet)]bracelet[/url] could be considered jewelry. I wonder why they have a jewelry ban at all. However, if they make an exception for religious reasons, then why can't she wear her purity ring? Doesn't it represent a reminder of her beliefs, like the kara bracelet that is allowed?

Hmm, that was all messed up.

Why is it that the more I see of 'schools' and teachers the more disappointed I become?

IMO, the "purity ring" isn't a nationally recognized item (ie: like a head scarf). Hell, anyone could wear a ring and call it a purity ring... the school couldn't do anything about it. When the ring and its usage has been around for a hundred years or so, then bring it up...

The purity ring is not PART OF her religion. It's a show of faith on her part. Now if her religion REQUIRED her to wear it in order to take part in the religion that would be another matter. but it does not.
