My cousin was forced to remove her Easter Lily in school as it was "inappropriate"

Crock Rock

As above. An absolute disgrace.
I'm 28 now, it's been 11 years since I left secondary school.

She's a 17 year old girl who is big into her Irish history and politics and, like me, dreams of a United Ireland. She's fuming at the situation.

Her uniform policy states

"Students must attend school dressed in full school uniform, consisting of the prescribed jumper, shirt, tie, skirt for girls and trousers for boys and black or brown shoes (with the prescribed knee-length socks for girls). Exceptions to this are PE and school outings."

Make up for girls must be conservative and facial hair for boys must be nearly trimmed.

Boys and girls are expected to maintain a reasonable standard of personal grooming. Hair dye / streaks are acceptable as long as it is not extreme.

Pendants, necklaces, broaches and badges may be worn as long as they are smaller than 5cm in total.

In my opinion, it's a very fair uniform policy which is quite clearly spelled out. Her Easter Lily is about 3 cm in length that she has been wearing for a couple of years and recently decided to get one to attach to her school jumper.

Here's the funny thing. Her English teacher demanded she remove it in her class as it's "offensive". What annoys me though, is that the same teacher wore and Armistice Poppy and so did one or two other students before and nothing was said to them by the same teacher. The poppies were even being old from the principal's office.

The teacher said that Easter Lily proceeds go to fund terrorists, my cousin said they don't, they fund the upkeep of patriots' graves... the teacher replied .. exactly, terrorists.

Jesus, so Kevin Barry, Michael Collins, and the people who fought for Irish freedom are terrorists?

The principal is backing the teacher up and saying that the Lily is indeed a symbol of terrorism and has no place in the school.

Partitionist west brits?

It’s outrageous. Somebody should get the health inspector to pedal out on his bicycle to shout and wave his fist in the air.

So last week at the earliest. That's over nine weeks before Easter. Sounds a bit fabricated.

She bought a second one to attach to her school jumper.

The British poppy proceeds in Ireland go to the UDR (Ballymurphy massacre) , SAS (Dublin and Monaghan bombings), British paratroopers (Bloody Sunday) perpetrators.

Terrorists, indeed.....
Then there's the distasteful association with imperialism, loyalism, BNP, etc

They should call the Gardaí if they think a 17 year old is funding terrorism, otherwise tgrh can f€&k off

Name and shame them!

Never said you did C, I said the British have a problem with it, they are the ones what parade the poppy towards this notion on how they "saved Europe" and all that horsewollix to go with the poppy, now they want to ditch themselves out of it.

I think you mean a 17 year old girl who just has an interest in History?

It's hardly a crime.

It’s pathetic, tell her to live life and stop worrying over a piece of land she doesn’t even live in.

Is this what we should be telling 17 year olds is important in life?

Madness.

So the destiny of her homeland shouldn't concern her?

Her dad is a protestant nationalist from Antrim btw.
Yes, there are protestant nationalists!

Chris Hemsworth is set to portray Hulk Hogan in a new biopic of the Hulkster.

It's an out and out outrage.

I didn't pick up on the 'Hogan' part there and was outraged at the thought of Thor being The Hulk.
