Ban Kirpans (ceremonial dagger) in primary schools

Petition Details

My children's primary school has just announced that they have passed a policy allowing children (aged 4 upwards) to wear a Kirpan if they have taken promises under Amrit.  

Additional Information

To me, a dagger is a dagger and has absolutely no place in a primary school.  I would like to see the Goverment review the situation and bring a complete ban on Kirpans in primary schools, as despite the policies in place, I do not feel happy allowing my children to be in an environment where other children are carrying daggers or knives.
