Why Was This Canadian Student Allowed to Keep His DAGGER?!

A Montreal school’s ban on a Sikh student’s kirpan sparked a legal battle that reached Canada’s Supreme Court. After the religious dagger accidentally fell from his clothing in 2001, a proposed safety agreement was rejected—and his family challenged the decision. In 2006, the Supreme Court overturned the absolute prohibition. The ruling protected religious freedom while allowing strict safety conditions, including keeping the kirpan secured in a wooden sheath, sewn inside cloth and worn beneath clothing. Discover the true story behind Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and the school dispute that became a landmark Canadian religious-freedom case.
