Wow, that is so wrong I find. Allowing a kid to bring a weapon to school whether he is going to use it or not is so wrong. Anything that has the potential to kill like that should be out of the question, religion or not. School and religions should not be mixed anyways, one thing I liked about french schools that is very controversial there too. This means no kippas, muslim hats, turbans, etc...
Your thoughts?

read the article...

"The court threw out arguments from lawyers for the Quebec school board that originally implemented the ban. It said there is no suggestion the kirpan is a weapon of violence or that Gurbaj, who was 12 when the court case started five years ago, intended to use it as one."

i almost ALWAYS carry either an opinel or a swiss army on me. You NEVER know when you might need a tool, and whats more versatile than a knife?

wow, you Canadians sure are progressive,
don't want to offend anyone now, even if it means full blown knives.
I think in America young KKK memebers are allowed to bring AR-15'S

common misconception. Muslim is an islamic person. I could be muslim and white as fuck. that guy is an arab. and his religion is sikhism. completely different.

there are no utility purposes to carry a ceremonial dagger every day with you.

Sikhs are not muslims. The daggers are not sharp. I think that they can even bring them on planes although that may have changed. letting kids bring them to school is a bit sketchy. it is a heavy blunt object...I guess you could choke the shit out of somone with rosery beads too...

Not having his dagger is the single most humiliating thing that can happen to a Sikh man. It is part of their culture. Besides the fact that Sikhs are not "terrorists", the daggers arent even sharp, and they never use them.


Fun fact...most muslims don't wear turbans, but all Sikhs do. After 9/11, most of the people beaten and killed by angry Americans were Sikh, and had absolutely no affiliation with the attacks. They got killed just for wearing a turban.

i dont think its a big deal, i dont see this resulting in any violence. the whole thing about ceremonial weaponry is that you dont tend to ever use it. but who knows maybe some kid will get stabbed and ill eat my words.

the "not even sharp" excuse is just laughable.
A part of their culture eh? Whaling use to be part of our culture carrying revolvers use to be part of our cultre, why don't we all progress a little but
