Until America lost its collective mind most boys wore a pocket knife where ever they went, including school. I certainly did. And it was a much better weapon than a symbolic kirpan.
Sihks are mostly very good folks. Let them practice their religion.
I had the pleasure of working with a family of Hindus named Patel.
Great hard working folks with great family values.
Guess Patel is like being named smith or jones here, they are everywhere.
