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...
First, even -I- as a Pagan priest, do know that —during ‘observances’—, the wearing of a sheathed dagger can be a usual thing.
—BUT—!!!
I know that there are state laws of “how big a blade” exist, and it does not matter your religious bent, you have to follow that.
I know that it is an argument, under the 2nd Amendment, read ‘bear arms’, that was just concluded in the State of New Hampshire.
But Sikhs with swords, by some folks, would equate to Muslims with swords. Both of which would produce more embarrasing moments for the sword wearers, when met by good-intentioned firearm wearers, never mind explaining that to the cops!
Within their ‘house of worship’, I can say nothing. But, on the street, for the safety of all, and for the sanity of liberals, who detest anyone who can disarm a criminal without their permission, I would say ‘No’.
There are kids who are suspended for only DRAWING a picture of guns or other weapons, let alone bringing them to school.
I don’t have any problem with Sikhs taking this symbolic sword to school, but let the other kids bring their pocket knives. Fair is fair.
Oh wait, we’re talking about the public (government) skools, right?
Background... A number of Sikhs and other Temples in Canton. Very Diverse, many engineers ( Ford bedroom Community ) and Doctors, many very smart kids. This was all over the Cover of the Canton Observer today, go find it, no you can’t post, it is on the band list...
Dear Sikhs - this is America. Welcome. F#@k off with your request. Our tolerance only goes so far. Don’t like it? Move back. Seriously.
No problem, as long as students and teachers are able to carry guns.
THen I want to carry my pistol everywhere. Guns have been the symbol of most Christians in this country before it was founded.
The Sikhs should wise up and start their own schools. At least get their children out of public schools before they’re turned into welfare slugs with IQs on a par with lichen.
