Christians can't pray in schools but Sikhs can bring their daggers

This is ridiculous:

Story #8: Mich. School District Gives Pass to Religious Dagger

RUSH: "A Detroit-area district says it's allowing Sikh students..." S-I-K-H. This is FoxNews.com. "A Detroit-area district says it's allowing Sikh students to wear a small, religious dagger to school. The decision by the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools reverses a ban put in place in December after a fourth-grader at a Canton Township elementary school was found with a dull, 3- to 5-inch kirpan. The kirpan represents a commitment to fight evil in the Sikh tradition. The dagger is a religious symbol that baptized Sikh males are expected to carry. The principal initially let the boy keep the kirpan, but the school board instituted a ban because of parental concerns and conflicts with the district's rules against bringing weapons to school.

"The Detroit Free Press and WXYZ-TV report that under the new guidelines, kirpans meeting certain criteria will be allowed for Sikh students." Now, we've had stories for years about kids being kicked out of school over a table knife in a car in a parking lot and nail clippers. But we allow this. So I guess... What, it's part of his religion? You know, most Sikh handles, daggers, have rhinoceros handles. If they're legitimate, if they're authentic, most of them do. I don't know if these do. But think about that. So a rhinoceros dies to make the dagger, then the dagger can be brought to school in Detroit.

So you have the environmentalist wackos ticked off (well, but they're not ticked off). You've got animal rights people ought to be outraged (but they're not). You've got the weapons groups that ought to be ticked off (but they're not), because everybody's afraid. So here's little Johnny. He goes home from school (impression), "Mommy! Mommy! They took away the plastic butter knife that you gave me for my peanut butter and jelly, but there's this kid that's got a dagger on his belt and they let him keep the dagger. What is up, Mommy? What's up?" Mommy goes to the school and is told to shut up and go home. Don't cause any trouble.

It may be necessary for Sikhs to have daggers to fight evil - more power to them, but why do young boys have to have 'em? And why can't girls carry them? They have a lot more evil to fight than guys do!
