School Legal Daggers
| QUOTE |
| The case stems from a November 2001 incident at Ste-Catherine-Laboure school in LaSalle. Gurbaj's cloth-wrapped dagger came loose from around his waist and fell to the ground at the elementary school. |
While I understand the religious aspect to the argument, it is due to the fact that the dagger became loose in the first place that the discussion about safety at schools started. I wonder how a Sikh can get through an airport security scan for instance? Do they comply and remove the dagger before boarding the plane? I certainly hope so.
In today's world of terrorism, safety becomes a big concern, bigger sometimes than religious and personal beliefs. I am not one to condemn anyone else's belief, but I can certainly see why others would feel uncomfortable about the whole situation.
