Suspended for piercing her nose, a 12 year old girl recognizes that her Indian culture is sometimes hard for some Americans to understand, according to a report by msnbc.com.
Suzannah Pabla wanted to reconnect to her heritage through piercing her nose which is a cultural choice in India. To her Utah public school this was a violation of the dress code, the body-piercing ban, and decided to suspend her for it.
The school and Pabla reached a compromise, saying that if she wore a clear stud then she could return to school.
