Teen Girl Banned From School for Chastity Ring Heads to Court

[FaithWalker]

A teenage girl who was banned by her school from wearing a "purity ring" is taking her case to the High Court.
Lydia Playfoot, 16, is a member of a Christian group called the Silver Ring Thing (javascript:siteSearch('Silver Ring Thing');) and one of a number of students at the Millais School in Horsham, West Sussex, who wears a silver ring engraved with a Biblical reference — "1 Thes 434," a reference to St. Paul's Letter to the Thessalonians (javascript:siteSearch('St. Paul's Letter to the Thessalonians');) — as a sign of their belief in abstinence from sex until marriage.

This is really sad, and seems like a clear case of anything of Christian value, is being attacked.

Every generation our precious teens have a harder and harder time just getting through their teens, what with peeer/soacial/parental pressure.

I praise God that there are teens though, who have turned to Jesus Christ and are born again and choosing to live for Christ. Here's a young girl doing just that. Putting the Lord and His word first in her life, with a little ring as a symblol of abstinance as God commanded.

And, what it got her was banned from school. Instead of being proud of her, and encouraging her in her decision to keep herself pure for her future husband, she gets punished for it.

:praying for this girl, and so many like her and the boys, that God will give them His strength to remain steadfast in Him, and to keep pressing on, putting Him first in their dear sweet lives.

Good for her! I'd be proud to have her as my daughter!

Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

If this young lady is having legal troubles, she could contact the "ACLJ" run by Jay Sekulow. He is an advocate for students rights. I sure he would help her. What a couragious young woman.
