Unbelievable! A young student in Queensland's story.

Postby Shazzam » Tue Aug 22, 2006 9:39 pm

This media coverage has angered me no end! :twisted: :evil:

A young student in Queensland has been told by the Principle of her school (a state public school) that she cannot wear her gold crusifix to school.

Now to get things straight this isn't a government policy this is just the school's policy. This young girl is heartbroken it is obviously a piece of jewellry that she loves.

In the last few months there have been many muslim students in NSW that have been asked now to wear the full head gear etc to schools (state) and they took this to the department and won. (which i thought was fair enough) each to their own. BUT now this! What the hell is happening in this Country.

NOT HAPPY. If I were her parent I would take this thing all the way to court if necessary.

I'll tell you what has happened to our country!

Too many touchy feely ex-hippies in the media, in the teaching profession and now the politicians are sucking up to them in order to get a few more votes. While the real Aussies (like me) are shut out and ridiculed for speaking their mind.
Our schools are supervised by vegie eating man haters and soccer mums preparing for their next mission to hug a tree.

Our beaches are infested by 1,000 sheet wearing Fadi's waiting to spit on the next Aussie girl in a bikini to walk onto the sand.

Strike a light! Our kids are baby sat by the Teletubbies.
What do you expect?

OK! You must feel a little better getting that off your chest. The problem is if you approach the problem with that amount of anger it doesn't help either. There needs to be level heads and they need to address each problem on an individual level.

For example if that was my daughter I would fight so hard that the school would be humiliated publicly and in the courts if necessary. I would make my daughter continue to wear her jewels and if necessary I would sit in the playground with her until the school was sick of looking at my face.

You have to get people's attention to these problems in away that is not abusive but commonsense.

This is strange. Why would a school principle bother to stop a student to wear something that she believes in? I mean, why just her? Aren't there other students who also wear their religious symbols? :? And I agree with you. The girl should file a report and send it to school district superintendent. Her right of freedom of religion and belief has been violated. :roll:
