so you would be ok with having something on your skin for 3 weeks?

NO! I WOULD CONTACT THE NEWS, THE SCHOOL, THE SUPERINTENDENT, AND THE PRESIDENT AND DEMAND MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR THIS ATROCITY!!!!


......or, I could just let it go because it's not permanent and it's probably the least harmful thing my 7 year old kid will go through in their entire lives lol. give me a break.

So religious tatoos which last 3 weeks are harmless... A coach going by himself to pray after a game **VIOLATION OF CHURCH/STATE**

I'm not outraged but I think a couple of things are interesting

1 - Libs downplaying the religious significance of this while trying to run down a coach

2 - Libs pretending only Christians get all pissed about stuff like this when Athiest sue school districts all the time over less.

If this kid's parents were atheist and there was picture of their child next to a cross, there would be a lawsuit. ...or even worse, they made the kid sing O Holy Night

I would be a bit irritated and probably give the teacher schlonging, but nothing to lawyer up and call the media over.

You would rape the teacher? (assuming he/she wasn't voluntarily up for it)

Henna doesn't really have a religious significance per de, it's really just make up. Now I might be upset if my daughter came home from school in make up but not on religious grounds.

A cross is just two pieces of wood to some. O Holy Night is just a pretty song to others. Regardless, just as parents are informed about a cross and a song about baby, they should be informed about tattoos that some consider to have religious meaning, per se.

Neither do sound waves but I'm pretty sure "O' Holy Night" is considered religious.

Every kid could get their choice between Crips, Bloods, Aryan Nation, or for the really adventurous, Russian Mafia.

OK guys, I can tell you the significance of the cross and Oh Holy Night to Christians, what's the significance of Henna to other religions? I'll wait while you search the internet but from what I know about it, there's really no religious significance in any religion. Most commonly associated with Hindu weddings where it's done for luck of prosperity in the marriage similar to brides wearing white here. More cultural than religious.

Maybe, maybe not. But thats not the point. I know the woman brought this up, but she could also be attempting to determine ulterior motives as well. The point is, you do not perform body modifications on minors without a parent's consent.

They can laugh about how she had to wear "Mickey Mouse" gloves for family pictures that year because she had stuff on her hands. Besides, the designs were rather innocuous since they didn't depict anything obvious or vulgar. It's not like the school "tattooed" words like "Hail Satan" all over her hands and arms...

Yes, I'm sure that 30 years from now this kid is going to laugh at having to be the only one to wear gloves because a dumb*** teacher forced her to undergo a religious act that wasn't her own.


I have to ask when this school is going to force the non-Christians to take communion. I mean what's the harm...it's just grape juice and a wafer right?

Well I was responding to those who brought up the religious aspect. I agree that it shouldn't have been done because it can't be washed off but rather fades over a week or two. I don't know what you're referring to regarding ulterior motives

Or how about just teaching our kids how to effing read, write, and what an effing integer is, and let the parents worry about what cultural exposures they get? Normally, I'm the guy who says "yes, Memphis can do basketball AND football - we don't just have to concentrate on one." but the US world math ranking kinda nullifies that argument here.

It's Wikipedia but here's the gist
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehndi

Quote:Mehndi in Indian tradition is typically applied during special Hindu weddings and Hindu festivals like Karva Chauth, Vat Purnima, Diwali, Bhai Dooj and Teej. In Hindu festivals, many women have Henna applied to their hands and feet and sometimes on the back of their shoulders too, as men have it applied on their arms, legs, back, and chest. For women, it is usually drawn on the palm, back of the hand and on feet, where the design will be clearest due to contrast with the lighter skin on these surfaces, which naturally contain less of the pigment melanin. Henna was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for Hindu brides. Muslims of Indian subcontinent also apply Mehndi during their festivals like Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.

Pretty much what I already knew as a practicing Hindu woman has worked for my wife for a decade and had to get permission from admin because policy prohibited visible tattoos and the atheist that works with them complained. No big surprise because she complains about everything.

You beat me to it. I was going to say just google henna and muslim/islam and you get a ton of info.

But, that's not the point in the end. They shouldn't have done it without parental permission.

Right, pretty much decoration. It's make-up. Not religious

It washes off eventually. I don't see why these people are upset. It is not a tattoo.
