Students barred from wearing Christian chastity symbol in UK school...

"My children, your life upon earth is but a few short years, and shall you sacrifice eternity forever for these few short years, giving yourselves to all pleasures of the flesh and all manner of worldly gains. For what? For absolutely nothing! You do not gather your treasures for your God and for your soul; you pamper your human instincts and your bodies! Cast aside these shackles that bind you to the earth. Clothe yourself in garments of purity, modesty, and godliness. Do not accept the ways of satan while you are upon your earth, for then he shall claim you forever." - Jesus, October 2, 1976

LifeSiteNews reported on June 20, 2006:

Christian girls who have pledged to remain chaste until marriage have been told they can’t wear a silver ring symbolizing purity to their school, the Daily Mail reported yesterday.

Officials at the all-girls institution of Millais School said the rings contravened the school’s strict dress code—the only jewellery permitted are small stud earrings.

Heather and Phil Playfoot, parents of one girl who wants to wear the ring, have been fighting the school for two years over the issue and are now considering a court case.

“There are Muslim girls at the school who are allowed to wear the headcovering, although that isn’t part of the school uniform, and Sikh girls who are allowed to wear the bangle, although that isn’t part of the uniform,” Heather Playfoot told the Daily Mail.

“It’s a discriminatory policy. We don’t want her education to be disrupted because of it but we do want her to feel free to wear something that is very significant.”

The Playfoot’s daughter Lydia, 15, has stopped wearing the ring because “it was being made really difficult for me,” she said. Girls were given detentions and taught in isolation for wearing the silver ring.

“My ring is a symbol of my religious faith. I think, as a Christian, it says we should keep ourselves pure from sexual sinfulness and wearing the ring is a good way of making a stand.”

Headmaster of the school Leon Nettley said in a statement that the school’s own sexual education programme emphasized that under-age sex was illegal and encouraged discussion of the issues.

“In relation to the issues of wearing a purity ring, the school is not convinced that pupils’ rights have been interfered with by the application of the school’s uniform policy,” which he said was “clearly published” and “set a high standard.”

Schools Minister Jim Knight responded to the issue in a written statement by saying that despite the freedom of schools to determine their own uniform guidelines, they should “have regard to their responsibilities under equalities legislation” and be “sensitive to pupils’ cultural and religious needs.”

The awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

EXAMPLE OF QUEEN OF HEAVEN
"The world must follow the example of the Queen of Heaven. Modesty, purity of heart and purpose." - St. Michael, December 7, 1973

A WAY OF LIFE
"I ask that a task force be set upon the world to eliminate the products of the forces of evil that seek to debase, destroy the souls of your children. Remove from your homes the corrupters of souls: the pornography, the infernal box—your television—and the destructor of souls, modesty and purity—the nakedness of the body.
"Parents, you shall be judged for the destruction by permissiveness, of your children's souls. Clothe them in goodness, holiness, and piety, and make modesty a way of life for the young." - Our Lady, August 21, 1975

SAFEGUARD THEIR PURITY
"As parents your duty is manifold. You must teach your children within your homes. You must safeguard their purity. Modesty! Mothers, your daughters—do you permit them to expose their flesh to lustful eyes? Are you stripping from their young souls modesty and purity of purpose and spirit? What kind of example are you giving as parents in your homes?" - Our Lady, October 2, 1975

TREASURE CHILDREN’S SOULS
"As parents you must treasure your children's souls. Keep them shining in goodness and holiness and purity. Many children of tender age have been robbed of this purity. Woe to the man who scandalizes the young!” – Jesus, August 5, 1978

DEFILEMENT AMONG CHILDREN
"Little children, victims of their elders! Defilement among children by adults! Woe to the man who scandalizes the young! Better that he had died in his mother's womb! Suffer all little children to come to Me. The Kingdom of Heaven--the children should symbolize the spirit of innocence and purity and faith, but we see the most vilest of acts being committed against the purity of children. And I say unto you: better that a man receives a millstone about his head and is cast into the sea than to defile the young!” – Jesus, May 28, 1977

MODESTY AND PIETY
"My children, your life upon earth is but a few short years, and shall you sacrifice eternity forever for these few short years, giving yourselves to all pleasures of the flesh and all manner of worldly gains. For what? For absolutely nothing! You do not gather your treasures for your God and for your soul; you pamper your human instincts and your bodies! Cast aside these shackles that bind you to the earth. Clothe yourself in garments of purity, modesty, and godliness. Do not accept the ways of satan while you are upon your earth, for then he shall claim you forever." - Jesus, October 2, 1976

SAFEGUARD
"My children, parents, you must guard, safeguard your children's souls. You cannot expect others to do this for you. As parents, you have been given a God given trust to instruct your children. In your world and a polluted mankind, a fallen generation, little children cannot retain their innocence of heart; little children cannot retain their modesty and purity of intention; little children are being educated in filth, corruption, and the breaking of the Commandments of your God. Woe, woe, woe to a man who defiles the young! Better that he had died in his mother's womb!" - Jesus, February 10, 1977

NO COMPROMISE
"Each soul that has reached, who has reached the age of reasoning must give a good example of faith, modesty, purity of purpose, and dedication to his God. There shall be no compromise of the Faith in My Church. There shall be no compromise with the world, for My Kingdom is not of your world. My Kingdom is eternal. My ways are not the ways of the world." - Jesus, August 5, 1976

TRADITIONAL HABITS
"The road to Heaven, my sisters, is a narrow one and not difficult to follow, unless you choose to turn away. Even a short duration in the world will soil your soul. You must not, my sisters, give yourselves to the world in thought or deed or dress. Your example must be as one as Our Lady is dressed--a long habit that reaches to the ground. When you, my children and sisters, discard a proper attire--dress and habits--you do much destruction to your order, to your vocation, for you no longer are an example of purity and commanding respect. You do not receive respect. You are a scandal to your vocation, my sisters! You must not be obedient to the cry of the serpent.” – St. Theresa, October 2, 1975

BEAUTY OF PURITY
"Fair maidens do not blush, my sisters. They do not blush, for they know not embarrassment or sin. The purity, the beauty of purity, is gone forever from their lives. If you do not have purity of purpose in your worldly life, you cannot enter the Kingdom of light, the Kingdom of the Father, where purity reigns.
"Is it not better, my sisters, to have to suffer to be different for just a little while upon your earth? Life is eternal in the Kingdom of God. Your life upon earth is but a short pilgrimage. Shall you give yourself to satan while on earth and be claimed by him over the veil? Is it not better, my sisters, to follow the rule: obedience with honor, not with dishonor to your God--obedience that is given with good and noble purpose and with truth.” – St. Theresa, October 2, 1975

FASHIONS
"Man has lost his purity. All parents must guard the children's souls. Be firm with your children. The fashions grieve all Heaven.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1970

WATERS OF PURITY
"All that Saint John, Our prophet to you, has given in print must be read. And ask as you read, for guidance to understand by imploring the Spirit of life, the Holy Spirit, to aid you in your search for knowledge that will not be clouded, darkened, or misleading by satan, but a knowledge of pure light, waters of purity, waters that can then be given by Our pastors to Our sheep who are now roaming without guidance, who are starving for the light.” – Our Lady, May 15, 1976

STATE OF PURITY
"My child and My children, I have come to you under many names in the past, but I want you to acknowledge Me as the Mother of Grace. Because that is why I come to you now, My children: to give you the graces necessary to remain upon earth in a state of purity and perseverance, and knowledgeable to the truth that will lead you and keep you on the narrow road to Heaven.” – Our Lady, September 14, 1985

PURE AND HOLY THOUGHTS
"Keep pure and holy thoughts in your minds, for the eyes are the mirror for your soul. Your example, as parents, must be one of discipline, of faith, and of purity. As you sow, so shall ye reap.” – Jesus, December 28, 1976
