Aaaaaand I was right. My ex-girlfriend's summation of the place: "Johnston county is the best place in the world to get your car fixed, and the worst place in the world for everything else."

She's basically right. Johnston county is a breeding ground for weirdos, mostly of the redneck variety, so this story doesn't surprise me at all. As far as the issue at hand, I agree that the school doesn't have the authority to determine what constitutes a religion. However, I'd say it's likely this rebel chick just sent in a membership donation to the church-of-stabbing-yourself so she'd have an excuse to wear her jewelry. I'm all for standing up for what you believe in, but I don't have much respect for those who challenge authority just for the heck of it.


Agree. Nice way to put it.

If only twas possible to legislate common sense.


Indeed.

It wasn't the end to the world but it did instill a disrespect for arbitrary rules. Leg warmers were - 18/09/2010 01:11:36 AM 478 Views
