Could you possibly fold any faster?
DISCRIMINATION!!!
Actually, the dining commons worker decided that Mansheel is not allowed to walk into the DC with a knife. It turns out this knife has religious significance. Which makes it okay. In a related story, my religion tells me to go around killing people. How dare people stop me. It's discrimination.
There are no rules prohibiting students from wearing Kirpans or other religious articles in the dining commons, according to UC Berkeley’ General Residence Hall Conduct Policies.
Yeah, but are there rules prohibiting students from wearing weapons? Well, the point is moot, as they folded faster than a house of folding papers.
The students said they will push for sensitivity training for Cal Dining staff, said Camille Pannu, a student on the Chancellor’s Task Force on Hate and Bias.
“I’m surprised they don’t have it already,” Pannu said.
Because sensitivity training makes people sensitive, and not bitter at all. Also, remember that this is the staff that's horribly underpaid and overworked. Let's give them MORE to worry about! Yay!
The students also said this incident incited them to push for a federal law that would protect the Sikhs’ right to wear Kirpans and other religious articles.
Can you say loophole? Some religion should make a concealed handgun a religious article.
