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.

To: jwpegler (#1) (Edited) Both demonstrate how loony tunes the government has become. Before the Reagan era - "Going Postal" at work or at school was unheard of. Mark Ames' book "Going Postal: Rage, Murder, and Rebellion: From Reagan's Workplaces to Clinton's Columbine and Beyond" thesis states that schools under this new social darwinist system of the post Reagan years has created a world of indentured servitude in the work place and schools. The stress leads to work place and school "Going Postal" episodes which resemble 'slave rebellions' of America's past which were really not rebellions but more like revenge killings by unorganized slaves driven mad by the condition of slavery. But instead of seeing the system as responsible (and it is the work and school system because "Going Postal" at work or school did not exist unto the Reagan 80s - there was no incidents like that before hand - it was new) they pass insane laws that try to suppress the outbreaks just like the South could not see the system as the cause for these outbreaks. The South - instead of blaming slavery for why slaves would want to kill their masters - something we modern people would think is a natural reaction to being a slave - passed insane laws to stop the act of rebellion rather than free the slaves to end rebellion. Americans don't want to know that their schools produce such a toxic environment that their kids will go "Columbine" so they pass insane rules to prevent the act but not for anything about the symptoms. Here are some excerpts from the book in question: In America, no one is calling for a fundamental change in the corporate culture or school culture (except perhaps the half-hearted attempts to regulate bullying). To consider a change in our corporate culture is far too threatening— it is tantamount to calling for the overthrow of everything we now believe, everything we take for granted as normal. Detail by detail, the office and schoolyard rampages are so similar to other rebellions throughout our history that it is shocking to me that no one has considered these similarities until now. Like today’s uprisings, the American slave rebellions were characterized by wanton brutality, a society that hysterically misrepresented the causes that seem so obvious today, perpetrators who were borderline schizophrenics, painful black comedy, and violent, tragic failure. As we scratch the surface of this phenomenon, we start to see how miserable the school experience is for a great number of kids—white, middle-class, middle- American kids. It’s a misery built into the modern school culture. In fact, it is so obvious, and so common, that only a kind of adult amnesia, combined with powerful cultural propaganda, could edit away such a widely-held bad memory. -snip- To recognize the essential meanness of modern American culture, caught so clearly in the example of [Westside Middle School massacre] in how it was transmitted from adult to child, adult to adult, and child to child, is to attack the culture’s DNA. If you admit that the callousness exhibited there is awful and yet as common as Home Depot outlets, then eventually, the context changes and the shootings make a lot of sense. The post-Reagan squeeze is even evident when the school administration, by reflex, tries to deny a teacher [she was a victim of the Westside Middle School massacre] health care benefits that would have once been considered standard, docking her pay [because she could not come to work on some days from depression] out of a deeply-ingrained reflex more than anything. The whole country is infested with this meanness and coldness, and no one is allowed to admit it. Only the crazy ones sense that it is wrong—that what is “normal” is not at all normal—and some of them, adults and kids alike, fight back with everything they have. --snip-- Rage as we know it today did not exist when Ronald Reagan took power in 1981. Americans lived completely different lives then. The word stress had a far less lethal meaning then. The vise hadn’t yet been applied so intensely and so broadly, from the middle-class employee’s eighty-hour workweek down to the three-year-old’s preschool exam prep course. Instead, malaise was the cultural toxin. Executives and shareholders earned a far smaller portion of the wealth and the middle class had a much larger chunk, not just of the economic pie, but of other scarce resources such as leisure and pleasure and cultural dignity and the sense of entitlement. That is gone now. No one wants to remember this part of the pre-Reagan past—because it’s too depressing and speaks too obviously to the real decline in America. We went from the seventies malaise, which is just a euphemism for not feeling squeezed hard enough, to today’s post-industrial slavery, where we have accepted, with a cheerful attitude, the notion that our master’s interests—the constant transfer of wealth upward into the plutocratic class’s pockets—are identical with our own interests. And we serve out their interests on our own initiative, rejecting any politics or ideology which might threaten our masters’ pursuit of ever-increasing wealth and pleasure. Before Reagan, there was no such thing as “going postal” or schoolyard rampage murders.
