Title: Plymouth-Canton School District in Michigan allows students to wear kirpan daggers to class

Zahrasyed/FlickrA kirpan is a dagger or sword, and must be worn by baptised Sikhs.

A school district in Michigan says it's okay for kids to bring daggers to school - but there are a few rules.

The first rule is you have to be baptized as a Sikh.

The decision by the Plymouth-Canton School District was put into effect on Monday, reversing a ban established in December, when a fourth-grade student brought a three- to five-inch weapon to Bentley Elementary School.

The kirpan, which can be a dagger or a sword, must be worn by baptized Sikhs at all times.

"It's a religious symbol," local community leader Tejkiran Singh told WJBK Fox 2 News in Detroit. "It just reminds you [of] your spirituality."

Although the decision to allow kirpans to be worn is an about-face for the school district, they established a few rules regarding the blades.

"Any kirpan worn at school should be sewn inside a sheath in such a way that the blade cannot be removed from the sheath," the district states on their website.

The daggers must also be no bigger than two and one-forth inches, the blade must be dull, and should be hidden beneath clothing and "not be visible in any way."

Any student who violates these rules would be banned from wearing the kirpans to school again.

I grew up close to there!!!

Other school districts are kicking kids out for bringing dangerous squirt guns to class.

This all demonstrates how loony tunes government bureaucrats have become.

Seems like a fine compromise. I don't see how anyone can object to this.

I can't either. We have a Sikh Business, Golden Temple here in Eugene, and they really are very good at imparting the responsibilities of their religion and it's customs to their kids.

I could never imagine a Sikh kid risk the high wrath of his parents if he was irresponsible and couldn't wear the religious icon.
