UK Court Ruling Forbids School Ban on Religious Jewelry

LifeSiteNews.com reports:

Yesterday, a UK high court ruled in favour of a 14-year-old Welsh-Sikh student, permitting her to wear a religious bracelet while attending school. Some religious rights activists are hoping that the decision may help protect the rights of members of other religions as well, including Christians, some of whom have been forced to stop wearing religious items such as crucifixes in school.

The opinion: Watkins-Singh, R (on the application of) v The Governing Body of Aberdare Girls’ High School & Anor, [2008] EWHC 1865 (Admin) (29 July 2008).
