Canadian Supreme Court Decides to Allow Kirpans in School

I don't really see what the problem is here. Like Brady said, most kirpans are likely not the disemboweling death machines you're all making them out to be. Second, any Sikh who is devoted enough to wear a kirpan and turban to school is very unlikely to descrate the meaning of the dagger. And, like it or not, the previous arguement is a perfectly accurate one. If someone was bent on harming their classmates, a kirpan is a very unlikely weapon to choose. There's a possibility, of course, that someone will be harmed by a kirpan. There's also a possibility that students will be harmed by bats, hockey sticks, bunson burners, etc. Maybe a Christian boy will strangle someone with the cord his crucifix is hanging on. Who knows? Mass paranoia cannot be allowed to trump religious freedom.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
