SUN By JOHN ASKILL A GIRL of 16 was sent home from school — for wearing a crucifix. Sam Morris was banned after refusing the deputy head’s order to remove the Christian symbol, which she wore on a chain. The school does allow Sikh boys to wear bracelets — known as karas — because they are compulsory under their religion. Sam’s mum Debra, 37, accused the school of discrimination. She said yesterday: “Sam has worn the necklace for more than three years." "It’s very unfair when other people are allowed to wear religious symbols. It just ends up creating a divide between the pupils.” GCSE student Sam was banned from school but returned — minus the crucifix — after two days. Howard Jones, deputy head at Sinfin Community School in Derby, said: “We are very comfortable with our policy and believe we are being even-handed and fair. Christianity does not require followers to wear a specific symbol.” But a Derby City Council spokesman said “It is lawful to ban crucifixes while allowing other religious symbols — but whether it is desirable is another matter.” |

Was she wearing it as a sign of christianity or as a fashion item? Maybe I am being cynical but I see pupils at school wearing things like this(they are not allowed) and they have never seen the inside of a church

Shouldn't matter if she's wearing it for religion or fashion...it's not any more offensive than someone elses bracelet. |
