Every kid has a pair of scissors, a pencil.
Yeah well it would take quite a few whacks to separate a another kids head from their shoulders with a pair of scissors or a pencil...

I guess Sikhs do not fly anywhere.

Typically, the ‘swords,’ which are more the size of a knife, are welded into their scabbards so that they cannot be drawn. They’re allowed to be carried into federal buildings, etc, like that. It’s carried as a reminder of their obligation to God to do justice.

2 thoughts:
1. Kids used to brings guns to school all the time for after-school hunting, target practice (sometimes on a school club), etc. So what's the big deal?
2. Let the Sikh kid carry a plastic/toy saber, if it is purely symbolic.

These people don’t get it. The public schools don’t want “evils” warded off.

Oh, so the islamic kid who brings swords to school is merely asked to leave them at home but his non-muslim classmate who forgets there’s a butter knife locked in his trunk gets a criminal record and is expelled for the rest of the year.

Well they've gotta carry something to protect themselves from the GD Muslims that have multiplied like plague rats in MI.
Sikhs have centuries of experience dealing with Muslims.
Blades have been needed in all of those centuries.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Meanwhile, a plastic dinnerware knife in the trunk of a car will get a non-minority student expelled.

It has been a pleasure to have known several Sikhs during my life.You would never find more honest and honorable people anywhere.So if the kids want to carry their ceremonial daggers,I really don't see a problem.

Well, if he can carry a sword to school. Then my kid should be able to wear a huge cross and carry a big bible in the open. Talk about Jesus any old time and sing praise songs. Let’s see just how quickly the ACLU jumps on that one.

A couple of years ago, a Sikh kid won this battle in court.
Maybe the Sikhs will have to abandon the public schools and start their own schools. They’d probably be better off.

Sikhs arent known for violence. Id welcome any Sikh into my home. Dont confuse them with Muslims.
When I was in elementary and high school many of us carried knives.

Funny, I’ve been around a lot of Sikhs and never knew they were carrying sabers, not that it would matter to me.

As long as non-Sikh students are allowed to carry a similar item, if they choose, I’m fine with it.

If our own American kids can be expelled for having a small knife in a locked car, or even more ridiculous, wearing a cross or other Cristian symbol, then Sikhs, Muslims, Hindu's, or any other pagan kids shouldn't be allowed to wear or carry religious symbols or clothing on school grounds either. HOWEVER, I don't care if a Sikh student carries a harmless replica saber to school, and I don't care if a Muslim kid wears a burka to school. But if they can and do, why can't a Christian kid wear a cross or carry a bible?
More to the point, why do American school officials and many teachers hate Christianity and virtually every religion except Islam, the only one that advocates, preaches, and practices hatred, war, suicide, terror, and mass murder, when virtually all the other major religions at least advocate and preach (although not always practice) love, charity, and peace?
