Summary of the Article
Basically the article is about a teenage girl named Ariana Lacono that attends to Clayton High School in North Carolina. While she was attending to school the principle saw that Ariana had a piercing in her nose. And that is against the school dress rules. So they suspend her for having a piercing in her nose. She spoke to them and said that she has the freedom of religion and that her religion expresses through faith by tattoos and piercing and etc. They did not care about her belief and they kept on suspending her until she takes her nose piercing off. The Laconos Family went to the courts in 2002 and their was a similar case to the Laconos, the women worked in a Costco store and she had a piercing in her eyebrow. The court said that not always you need to wear a piercing all the time. In my perspective I think that their denying the girls rights because it's all stated in the Bill of Rights. And the equality of her too because if everyone has the right for having their own religion how come she doesn't have the same right. And I also think that the judge was not giving justice to Ariana because him should know the rights of the people. And the district themselves should understand that not all the students assisting to schools have the same religion so they should do something about it.

Agree. I hate that now in days people with more power think that they can bypass our freedom. Thats dumb that there's a dress code that does not allow body piercing.
