Many might remember the 2013 case of the 7-year-old who was suspended from elementary school for biting his breakfast pastry into the supposed shape of a gun (http://reason.com/blog/2013/03/01/pop-tart-pistol-7-year-old-gets-suspende). That was in Maryland. In that much more liberal (see billionaires spending over 10 million dollars to pass the "common sense gun safety regulation" of "background checks for all transfers" I-594 (why does it take 18 pages to describe "background checks for transfers"?)) state of Washington, knives are okay at elementary school, especially if they are concealed, and only for "religious purposes" ("an instrument of social justice"). Yeah, "social justice". Uh huh.

The comment from Jeff Soyer at the above link:

"We need to create a new religion: Gunnism. Part of the requirements for the faithful is the carrying of a ceremonial 1911."

Excerpt:

An Auburn School District official said Thursday that students and staff of the Sikh faith are permitted to wear ceremonial knives for religious reasons.
[ . . . ]
The knife, called a kirpan, is considered an instrument of social justice in the Sikh religion, and is one of five articles of faith worn by observant Sikhs. The blades are typically dull and range from 3 to 9 inches long, according to the New York-based Sikh Coalition.

[What kind of "social justice" can be meted out with a "typically dull" knife? Maybe it's gets (atypically?) sharpened for the social justice missions?]

Liberal minds ....

Where "zero tolerance" of weapons in public schools meets "religious tolerance" in public schools.

These crazy people running our lives are consistent only in their inconsistency. 

One has to ask, since the 10 Commandments are forbidden in public buildings, including schools, are the crazies in charge really against religion in schools, or just against Christianity?
