Lets just get this clear, anyone bringing religion in to it is wrong to do so as it dosn't matter what was on the end of the necklace, it was a necklace which are not alowed by MANY schools. I had one and was always told to take it off if it was visable and there was no crucifix on.

However I do think there should be consistant rules. If what ploppysirploppy says is true where muslims were allowed to wear pants simply because they have to be covered up then its a shambles.

I think im against religion being an influene on the school/college also. Like "St Marys" and other ones for other faiths. Firstly it does cause segregation, I mean, if I had a choice between a Catholic college and an Islamic college I would choose the Catholic one every time, for many reasons, and im sure many of you would be the same.

It seems to be a massive waste of time to have assemblys based on religion UNLESS you are a strong believer, but its not optional for those of us who are not.
I'm sure the college do it simply because they do get extra money for making everyone do religious studies, but it seems pointless when people are not interested, its just going to put them off religion more.
