Same thing in the U.K which as you probably know has very strict knife laws.
As far as I remember, quite a few of them wear a necklace which represents the knife, as opposed to carrying one; that may just be children. The knives themselves are not a design I'd want to be on the receiving end of. Very, very rarely does anyone get stabbed with one, despite many Sikh's living in poorer areas. I think the religion dictates they are only used in defence of the weak... I can't remember really. I expect that exceptions will have been made in America for them for years. It just isn't something you will usually ever notice. |

It is bull shit to allow a certain segment of society to have a blunt edged weapon in school and then expell a kid for pointing a french frie or candy cane. Both of which have happened. You're talking about two totally different things. One is a kid who is playing an ostensibly harmless game and a school over reacting to extremes. The other is a kid whose religion requires him to wear 5 articles of religious artifacts (The 5 Ks) as a matter of course and the school recognizing the child's right to free practice of his/her religion. I'm not arguing that there should be a double standard. I don't, personally, think knives in school is something we need to be "cracking down on." However, there is no religious requirement for the vast majority of kids to have a knife in school, there is one for Sikhs. There's also no religious requirement for children to play "guns" at school but, that's really an ancillary point here. So, while I agree, in principle, the rules for everyday life in school should be the same for all of the children, it gets a little less black and white when you start including the requirements of some religions. If this country was founded on the principles that every freeman and woman should be allowed to practice their chosen religion free from persecution and suppression (and it really was!) then we must make allowences for people to adhere to their religious tenets and mandates. Like I said, how many people would refuse a Jewish woman the right to cover her hair with a hijab in accordance with her understanding of tzniyut if the school decreed that no hats should be worn on school grounds? If we're going to show outrage at the concessions made for some religions we need to make sure we're outraged by them all. Or, we need to start hiring administrators to run our schools without expelling children for nothing more than having a knife or pointing a french fry. |

Idiots, like this one, should be summarily fired and prohibited from interacting with children ever again. |
