Was the student muslim?
Another sworded affair
I got a cub scout knife when I was 8, carried it every day.
Sikh’s make for good neoghbours
This could get real interesting real fast.
why can we seem to accommodate every religion and every culture except Christianity and Judaism?
Sikhs-kirpan.
Christian-Bible.
Pagan-athame.
Heathen-scramasax
Works for me as long as everyone plays nice.
I carried a Buck folder or a Benchmade Old Timer until I graduated...
Gotta watch out for people with the name Singh. They commit murder.000000000000000002% of the time : )
1911A1 a holy instrument in my book.

I think a new American tradition is in order. We should carry a firearm at all times. :^)
I think the Klingons do something similar
(No disrespect intended towards Sikhs)
Old news in Canada — the SCOC overturned a ban on Sikh kirpins in schools in 2006. Yes, it’s a double standard.
BTW, contrary to what some posters above seem to think: Sikhs are not Muslim. In fact, pound for pound Sikhs are by far the world’s greatest enemy of Islamists.
BTW#2, there are nearly twice as many Sikhs in Canada as in the U.S.A. Canada has the world’s second largest Sikh population (after India).
That comprises both the first and second amendment. These idiots need to shut up.
Sikhs have for generations used the option of having the kirpan they carry at all times be a pin or brooch in the appropriate shape. Somebody is BSing the state in this case.
That said, I really like the Sikh interpretation of the Indian idea of ahimsa or nonviolence. It’s basically that if you practice violence on the innocent, I will reintroduce a state of ahimsa by using my kirpan to bring an end to the violence.
Works for me.
The subject of carrying pocket knives is my number one pet peeve.
Everyone should carry a pocket knife. You should never go anywhere without one. The only reason we can’t carry one on airlines is the flying waitress union had a sh!t fit when TSA announced last year that it was going to reverse their stand on knives and allow people to carry a small one.
I went on a business trip a week ago. I needed a knife twice during the trip. First the mouse for my laptop died and when I bought batteries, I couldn’t open the damn things because of the blister packaging. Second, I came down with a cold and bought a small bottle of cough medicine what was blister wrapped. I couldn’t get the seal off. I had to go to the hotel desk and have them open the cough medicine bottle for me.
There is no common sense being applied to travel regulations or schools, just whatever makes liberal unions “feel good” and has the ability to inconvenience people.
How about a three foot long peaceful Scimitar.
Well, OK with the knife...as long as they’ll officiate a gay marriage!
Wow they consider the dagger as an instrument of social justice. Funny I view the gun the same. However, liberals have a perverted view of social justice.
I went to the Royal’s wild card game a couple of weeks ago. Upon arriving at the gate they asked us to take everything out of our pockets. I then realized I had a pocket knife in my pocket. A guy pushing a trash can went by and I tossed it in. Hated to see it go.
