Some young girls are wearing a ring on their finger to express their promise to remain virgins until marriage. School officials in England have banned it. They forbid any jewellery with religious symbols because they might be intimidating to other religions. Officials have made an exception in the case of Muslims and Sikhs and also allow crusifixes but they have taken offense with the virginity ring.
My way of thinking is that a great deal of the world's problems stem from indiscriminate sex so the girls who choose to abstain from it until marriage are hurting no-one but their disappointed boyfriends.
I personally don't disapprove of sex outside of marriage but I worry terribly about girls in their early teens engaging in it. They are so young and impressionable and the rampant sexual content of movies, T.V. shows, and song lyrics are convincing them it's the thing to do.
The virginity ring might not keep them virgins until marriage but it might keep them from sharing their bodies until they're old enough to make wise choices.
School officials, whether here or in England, are making rules that are laughable because they use "political correctness" as their guide instead of common sense.
Remember the little 6 year old boy who was tossed out of school in the States because he kissed a classmate on the cheek? And what about allowing Sikhs to bring their religious knives to school? A girl was also expelled for bringing Midol for her menstrual cramps. No drugs allowed, right? Apparently they thought Midol was as corruptive as Heroin.
Our children live in a world where they have to pass through metal detectors at the school entrance. In some schools there are armed guards monitoring the hallways. And now, in England, a young lady is considered a dangerous influence on her fellow pupils because she wears a virginity ring.
Where is the logic?
