School ban on Sikh daggers not justified, says Supreme Court.

OTTAWA (CP) - A Montreal school board went too far in imposing a blanket ban on the wearing of Sikh ceremonial daggers by students, says the Supreme Court of Canada.
In an 8-0 judgment Thursday, the court overturned a decision that barred teenager Gurbaj Singh Multani from wearing the dagger, known as a kirpan, to class. The court said a total ban can't pass muster under the Charter of Rights, because the policy infringes the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.
A Quebec Superior Court judge ruled in Gurbaj Singh's favour in 2002, saying he could carry the kirpan under certain conditions - for example, if he kept it sewn into a cloth envelope to be worn beneath his clothing.
Quebec Court of Appeal reversed that decision in 2004, ruling that the school board had the power to impose a total ban.
