Here we are again. It's been awhile since I have written.......
I came across this article. And I think my anger was instantaneous. Yes, anger. There are still things that make me quite angry and this I think did it.
Foxnews - Michigan Sikhs
We have a family of Sikh. Sikh are a very interesting bunch. They believe in a formless God. He/She goes by 99 different names. They are very strict, do not acknowledge any other belief and wear the following: long hair (hidden by a turban), short pants (is this considered "shorts" or "jammers"?), a ceremonial sword, carry a comb, and a metal bracelet. They do not believe in idols, pray many times daily and believe in a pure lifestyle (no tobacco, caffeine, alcohol, etc). And they believe in reincarnation.
Sounds very interesting.
Now that you have a short history lesson on what a Sikh is, let's look at the problem. Remember when I said that they carry a "ceremonial sword"? A fourth grader wore his to school. Under all his robes, he was wearing his "ceremonial sword". At school. He was roughhousing with another student and got caught with it.
Now the problem is, the kid is carrying what basically boils down to is a knife. And was disciplined. Now his family is pissed.
Here's the problem folks. The kid is carrying a knife. I do not care if your religion states to carry a razor blade between your butt cheeks and your kid shows up to school with it.....it's the same thing. It's dangerous.
Let me ask you a question. What if that kid got mad at a another student and threatened him with it, or worse, stabbed him with it? Kids nowadays are meaner than fuck and will hurt each other over the dumbest shit.
I care not about your damn religion when it comes to the safety of children in a public school. One is heavier than the other and it's really time to start telling people to shove it up their ass. If they want special treatment, pay for private school or home school their kids. Leave religion out of public schools.
