Too logical.... stop it ... you have to think E-m-o-t-i-o-n-a-l-l-y about Christianity.

How about:
"XXXXXX explained to her superior that what they were asking her to remove her Bling-bling was like asking her to remove her wedding rings; that her pot emblem to her is a symbol of love, and that she was a Rastafarian," XXXXX says. "She felt as though they were asking her to deny her beliefs."

I agree totally. If you want seperation of Church and state, make the seperation complete. As it is, it looks like she's 'showboating' how religous she is. The age old 'martyr' ploy ... she how she's suffering for her beliefs...

I got flamed for expressing your same opinions. If the school has rules, she must abide by them or go teach at a parochial school.

That said, PA's public school system is messed up. I put my kids in private school when we lived there.

You are talking about a necklace here, a piece of jewelery. No one had a problem when Madonna wore one.
Have you ever heard of St. Bridget's cross? The Catholic historians can help me here. They were made from straw and woven to carry to remind one of his/her faith at a time when it was against the law to have any reminders.
Are you saying that we are going back to the dark ages here??

Lighten up. If I have to stare at someone wearing a pentagon or a power bracelet, let them stare at my miraculous metal (blessed by Pope Paul I may add) and let everyone get a little less worried about what we are all wearing and more about how we are teaching.
