Aberdare Girls’ Comprehensive School in South Wales was held guilty for discriminating against Sarika Watkins-Singh a 14 year old Sikh schoolgirl who refused to stop wearing a religious wrist bangle after trying to make her take off the piece of religious jewelry.
Her bangle is called a Kara, a slim steel bracelet worn by many Sikhs as a sign of their identity and faith.
The school plans to appeal the ruling, declaring that their school is a place ”where girls flourish, learning to become good citizens whilst treating each other as equal, irrespective of wealth, race, religion or creed”.
Yes of course…becasue we all know braclet’s cause distractions in the learning abilities of young girls.
Maybe South Wales needs to take a big hint from America when it comes to FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
