NC Teen: Nose Ring More Than Fashion, It's Faith
• APA soft-spoken 14-year-old's nose piercing has landed her a suspension from school and forced her into the middle of a fight over her First Amendment right to exercise her religion. Ariana Iacono says she just wants to be a normal teenager at Clayt
IMHO body piercing does not qualify as a religion as intended in the Constitution.
That being said the Constitution does not give us our rights nor is it all inclusive. She certainly has a right to dress as she chooses. The only exception to this would be if she attended a private school. She does not.
I also believe that she is covered under my interpretation of the first amendment and the way the kangaroo courts have interpreted it.
