Canada allows Sikh knives in school

[method77]

Canada's high court has allowed Sikh pupils to carry a small knife of religious significance in public schools, favouring multiculturalism over security.

It overturned a 2004 Quebec appeals court ruling barring the kirpan, which the high court said was a blow to freedom of religion.

The high court also banned Hunter from taking his guns to school

:bigsmile: The only gun I carried when i went to school did get me in a lot of trouble. Anyway, the way news sites have been carrying the story is not very accurate. In many provinces in Canada it was already legal to carry kirpans, this decision was a Quebec only one, although it will probably be used in any future cases as a refference.

PS there was a working link I had used elsewhere, but the fuckers moved it to the payed content section.

Yeah, the SCC just brought them in line with the rest of Canada.

Shit like that really pisses me off. We had what I thought was a good disscussion going on the topic there, with a link that was not to the payed section, and the buggers go and change it.

Anyway,personally I have no problem with permitting them to carry Kirpans.
