Canadian Supreme Court Decides to Allow Kirpans in School

Can't bring nail clippers on a plane, but you can bring a knife to gym class.

Yeah. I get it's a religious symbol. But the bottom line is that it's still a knife. He is still bringing a knife to school. I can't even begin to understand this. Bringing a knife to school regardless of the reasons behind it should not be allowed. Period.

Oh, it's only a replica. It's not sharp. So I suppose a school would let me stroll around with a replica Bowie knife, right? Sure. How about a fake handgun?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Yar har har! As soon as I get this knife free with these scissors, there'll be some stabbin' tonight! ...Wait a sec. These scissors... they're sharp. And pointy. Pretty sturdy, too. What the hell was I doing?"

So then you're telling me that a child should be allowed to bring a loaded handgun to school, provided that it's in a lock-box?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Are you actually being serious? If there is a valid enough reason children should be allowed to bring guns to school?

I honestly can't tell if that was supposed to be some sort of smart-ass reply, of if you are telling me that it's ok if they bring a gun to school because it's in a case.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My father does own guns. I never did bring any of them to school.

Wow. Congratulations on completely making a mountain out of a molehill.

"HOLY GOD HE BROUGHT IN A GUN TO SCHOOL! EXPEL HIM!"
"It's unloaded, under lock and key, the key is in the possession of an adult, and the CASE it's in is in the possession of an adult."

Guns - ammunition = CLUB. Amd if it's an antique, it may not even work. Sometimes I wonder if you protest to the museum because they showcase medieval weaponry. =\

And we've made the jump from bringing a loaded handgun to school to museums exhibiting Civil War rifles how exactly?

Brady ftw.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
