A 14-year-old girl's nose ring has landed her a suspension from school and started a First Amendment fight.

Ariana Iacono claims the piercing is part of her religion. "I think it's kind of stupid for them to kick me out of school for a nose piercing," she said. "It's in the First Amendment for me to have freedom of religion."

While the school dress code forbids piercings, it allows exemptions on religious grounds.


Ariana says most of her classmates support her, as well as other members of the Church of the Punctured Booger.
