poor, "persecuted" christian

Schoolgirl loses "virginity ring" battle

LONDON (Reuters) - A teen-ager whose teachers had stopped her wearing a "purity ring" at school to symbolize her commitment to virginity lost a High Court fight against the ban Monday.

Lydia Playfoot, 16, says her silver ring is an expression of her faith and had argued in court that it should be exempt from school regulations banning the wearing of jewelry.

"I believe that the judge's decision will mean that slowly, over time, people such as school governors, employers, political organizations and others will be allowed to stop Christians from publicly expressing and practicing their faith."

Because she is not getting special treatment above and beyond what every other student gets, she believes that christians will be stopped from "practicing their faith"!

I am so sick of people demanding special treatment and yet they would deny equal treatment to others (such as gays and those of different faiths).

I hate people who feel that they are entitled to break the rules that everyone else must follow.
