[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 133184, member: 138"] Jasleen ji, Guru Fateh. Interesting thought! And, Soul Jyot ji, thanks for an interesting article. In the Sikhi spirit of full disclosure, I would like to say that we have two family trusts and my brother started 2 Khalsa schools, in Vancouver BC. One was burned down last year and was reconstructed. The high school is also in a brand new building which was built from scratch because the building they were interested in, the Nanaksar cult also had an interest, rather than creating a tug of war, they gave up on the building which was eventually bought by Nanaksar cult and remains closed most of the year. The Khalsa Schools are the 10 best in BC which is not a small thing. Our family's two trusts also have two Sikh schools in India. One in Ferozepore and the other in Delhi. We also distribute Sikh religious books and other books that are needed to about 1000 schools scattered in the villages and small towns in Punjab and also pay salaries of the teachers in many Sikh schools. I wanted to share this back ground to make my point. My two kids Jaskeerat, 22 and Trimaan 15 would not want to go to Khalsa Schools. They would want to be in the schools where they are able to intermingle with other cultures and learn their values just like the article above mentions. In fact, Jaskeerat's one of the minors is Theology and when she was a Sophomore, her paper on 3rd century Romans vs the Christians was accepted by the faculty which she presented at the seminar. In her Junior year, she is working as an assistant to her Theology professor and is enjoying it. She was the second one in Clark Country School district history to get Gates Millennium Scholarship till her Phd in any school of her choosing in the US. Only 1000 are chosen yearly from more than 13000 applicants. She is planning to spend her Spring semester in London. She is doing double major and double minor and is an honour student. My son, Trimaan has been the only visual Sikh in Henderson since the age of 3 and he tackled his problems in his own way. In fact he wrote an essay about it in his High school which can be found here in this forum. The funny part is that he was upset that this year when he came to know that there are 2 more visible Sikhs at his Advanced Technology Magnet Academy. One of the two Sikhs is from India but the other one is from Vegas and he had had problems in his middle school which was solved with the help of Saldef and myself. I went to his school with his Dad after Saldef had sent them a letter about his turban being removed and many other things. The school has an African American majority. As, his dad did not speak English, I was authorised to speak and be in touch with the school on his behalf. One day, the Principle of this Middle School wanted to talk to me and have a meeting. During the meeting I found out that this Sikh kid was the one provoking the African Americans and calling them Niggers etc etc. I talked to him and his dad about it. Then on the other day Trimaan saw him having an argument with a black student in his new High school. Trimaan is well liked in his school. He is a great debater and has won debates contests against the Juniors and Seniors in his freshman year. In fact he spoke about Sikhi and the case about Kirpan in the law class that the School offers. He participated in the "Trials by Peers" program during his summer vacation, passed his bar exams and was sworn in by the judge last week. He and his other mates who passed the Bar exam will get real cases and act as Defense attorneys and Prosecutors in the court. He seems to be enjoying it. His only fear is that other Sikhs should not act in such manner where people may lump all of the Sikhs as the one who is provoking the African Americans. The interesting part is that in the other thread being discussed about hair and nails, the thread writer wants to find justification in himself to keep or cut his hair and in this case, a Sikh is trying his best to be outstanding in all aspects and considers his turban and Sikhi as assets and the same goes for Jaskeerat.
