what a ridiculous argument. surely NO knives at all should be worn.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though :shock:

Some of these ‘Kirpans’ can be up to 5ft in size, how long will it be before they start demanding that they’re allowed to carry them in public, quite apart from school. The law already states that these weapons are allowed to be carried in public, due to them being part of the religion/baptism and banning them would be seen as being discriminatory!!

Oh and just one other point,,,,I was reading some of the other Telegraph stories, one of which was about a young child being told she wasn’t allowed to wear her cross and chain because of health and safety reasons,,,,this was a faith school and the child was following her faith in wearing the adornment, she wasn’t allowed tho,,,,,on the other hand, sikh children, attending the same school, were allowed to wear their bangles because it was part of their faith, smacks of discrimination eh :shock: it does to me anyway. Surely it has to be the same rules for all, anything else is discrimination,,,,,, isn’t it!!??

Ruby,,,,,,,,, I apologise, I’ll admit my ignorance and say that I didn’t realise what they were, I thought you were just kidding around :oops: You have a point though, and like I said too about the childs crucifix, it can’t be one rule for one and a completely different one for others.

No bother sweetcheeks :) and I WAS joking about the Samurai sword though.. imagine stuffing one of them down your breeks !
