This blog was created to provide the 12th graders enrolled in my US Government class with an extra credit opportunity to showcase their work in re my Mock USSC Hearing Project. For this project, the students spent one day a week, for nine weeks, focusing on the question of whether the Constitution permits Sikh school children to bring a metal bladed kirpan to school. A kirpan is a metal bladed sword or dagger.

My Friends Argued For the Wrong Side
I personally like the students that argued in favor of the respondent, but I think that what they said was wrong. Punishing a kid for carrying a kirpan onto school grounds is not right. I feel the kid should be punished if he attacks another student, but not for just carrying the kirpan.

I disagree Sean Sung. The possibility of having an attack should be erased, so the fate of the students isn't left to chance.
