Never overestimate the intelligence of school administrators.

So if it is covered up by his clothing the students are not in danger? How stupid. What if this kid is a nutcase? What if another kid who is a nutcase gets it off of him? Zero tolerance for weapons and separation of church and state. No way those things should be allowed in schools.

  Why is the principle allowing it and why aren't the parents protesting? God FORBID we offend anyone!

    I don't think you can say God forbid in school.

        No. I'll find a Sikh kid with a kirpan to do it.

        Well..the rules SAY he has to keep that thing covered up. (they also say he can't have a knife, but it's been blessed or some shit so it's okay now)... My husband said today, "It's like the planet of the apes or something... everything is upside down."

        My sister in law just said if her son went to that school she would pull him out until the parents of this kid were told he couldn't bring it on school grounds. The parents have to step up here.

        Exactly....people are so paranoid of offending someone they'll keep their kids in questionable surroundings to avoid confrontation.... When did we turn into such a bunch of panty waists??? Wussified by their OWN public education no doubt... crimony!

This comment may be a bit too pragmatic for some but-
There is no danger from a Sikh with a dagger,
but, when it is known that there is a dagger and where it is,
it is a temptation for others to take it.

  Students are NOT allowed to bring knives to school. That's the rule. Stick to the point.

Zero tolerance means zero sense coupled with zero judgment
