You usually can't take piercings out for more than an hour or so, they close really fast. But christian schools here usually only request they be covered up with skin-toned tape

An hour? Once they've healed?

My school let you get away with fishing line through the piercing in case it did need to be kept open.

She has the right to be home schooled with her nose ring intact.

Because of the kind of tissue involved, facial piercings never "heal". I've had my nose pierced for 6+ years and I still can't leave it out more than a couple hours. I can wear a clear stud, though.

Then pierce it again, and again, and again. It sounds like these people get close to their "God" by feeling the rush of getting a tattoo or piercing anyway, not necessarily rocking the jewelry.

I don't see her winning this one, because the school isn't forbidding her from getting piercings at all, they are just saying she can't wear them to school.

There goes her wish for being a normal teenager, she might as well look into a private school or home schooling.
