UK: more on the schoolgirl and the crucifix
According to the Telegraph, the school has a jewellery ban for certain grades; small cross lapel pins are allowed, however. My Catholic high school had a no-jewellery policy too, to cut down on status symbols.
I still don't understand the "health and safety" aspect -- sounds like bureaucratic and legal hoo-haw -- but the school's position otherwise seems reasonable. She should wear the regulation lapel pin instead of her crucifix.
