Nose ring sparks clash over faith and school dress code
A 14-year-old Clayton High student Ariana Iacono was suspended for wearing a nose ring, citing First Amendment religious beliefs tied to the Church of Body Modification. Her mother and supporters argue the Johnston County policy allows religious exemptions, while officials say dress codes must be neutral and non-targeting.
