A cross at church? Part 2

On Monday my son met with the principal at his school to discuss the now famous "Cross Incident"(See blog entry below). The principal explained that there was an unwritten rule that only school issued items could be worn on the graduation caps and gowns. That was his reason for telling him to remove the cross.

As all the world knows, "an unwritten rule is not worth the paper on which it is written". How do people find out about "unwritten rules"? I guess that you have to violate one to determine that it exists. That's a strange way for a school to operate.

Graduation is still on for Friday and my son has agreed to not wear a cross on his graduation gown. But the huge question that begs asking remains, "Why would a Christian school prohibit the wearing of a cross????"
