I wish the campaign every success.

We believe that Sarika should be allowed to go to school as an expression of her fundamental, democratic rights. We would like to say how proud we are of Sarika for standing up for her rights and wish her good luck in her struggle to get back to school. Signed, Mr. Jackson’s Grade 5 Class ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue, 27 November 2007 Sarika Singh should be readmitted, bracelets and wrist jewelry have been worn by yonng people through the history of British education -The bangel a token of faith in no way could effect educational interaction.
