Miss Playfoot can't wear the Silver Ring Thing in School

Beebs reports of the recent case here in the UK. A school girl joins a chastity club and wears a ring that marks her chastity to school. School asks her not to be so snotty and chastizes (oh, sweet pun) her.

Lydia Playfoot was told by Millais School in Horsham, West Sussex, to remove her ring - which symbolises chastity - or face expulsion.

The school denied breaching her human rights, insisting the ring was not an essential part of the Christian faith.

Miss Playfoot filed a case against the school's faithless stand and lost.

Teenage pregnancies is a serious problem in the UK. A religious knee-jerk reaction is ill-informed and distracts everyone from the real issues (which are primarily economic and social). How would you deal with this issue: if you were a teenager, a parent of a teenager, or perhaps, a teacher in a school full of horny teenagers?
