the schools and govt. should work on fixing this problem (Bullying). banning a Kirpan will not solve or prevent an incidents like this happening again. Sikh society in Australia and around the world is well respected and banning a Kirpan making Sikh society very upset and disappointed. A lot of kids commit suicide because of bullying.

I agree. It seems like the school is not focusing on the bullying at all and this is 1 case that is setting the standard for all Amritdhari/Shastrdhari Sikhs

Seems to not be focused on enough, that the person stabbed...was in the process of commiting a hate crime when it happened. 

Ripping Kesh out of a Sikh is the definition of a hate crime.

Why move to such countries in the first place?

Would it make sense for there to be a limit (such as 2 inches) for kirpan for a short period. I myself am not in favor of it, but it would be a better alternative than a full ban...

The Sikh community is virtually powerless in these kinds of situations because Sikhs are a tiny minority and, more importantly, Sikhs who believe in Sikhi are a tiny minority within this tiny minority

 

But every time I raise this issue on here, I always get a response along the lines of "Sikhi is about quality, not quantity"

 

How is that working out for us?

By the way, who is Jaskaran Singh? I like some of his tweets.
