  • Thats great I'm surprised that you guys were able to have that pass. Congratulations on that victory. I'm just curious though how is going to be included in the curriculum? Seeing that religion is not supposed be taught in schools and the other religions are taught only because its important to be understanding the history of the countries themselves in social studies. So anybody know how that will work?

  • Wow this guy is awesome, because he is educated. Parents just don't understand how hard it is for us sikh youths, girls and especially boys because of our appearance (the ones who keep our hair). They don't think that we get bullied or how we can't fit in. So thats why overwhelmingly kids want to cut their hair. If only the parents made them understand that we are supposed to look beyond the looks and it makes us stronger and more better people for it, that would help immensely.

  • love

  • Sohna sardar :)

    and hot punjabi kuri :P

  • Shabash!!!

  • Hopefully efforts like this will prevent hate crimes in future..

  • More RE in general should be taught in the USA I think. It is a law in the UK that religions are taught in schools.

  • Very nice
