: Dispatches from the Culture WarsBurn the Sikh! He's Different From Us!
By Ed Brayton
I have a difficult time imagining a punishment that wouldn't be justified for this asshole:
Officials are banning a Hightstown high school senior from school and all activities after he was charged with setting fire to a student's turban...Authorities say the senior torched a 16-year-old's turban during a fire drill on May 5. The junior, who is a member of the Sikh faith, was singed but not seriously hurt.
Green is charged with arson and criminal mischief.
In an earlier incident, a Sikh student in Queens had their turban ripped off and hair forcibly cut. Note to parents: can you stop raising bigoted morons, please?

alleging a Sikh American applied for a job with Disney but was told he did not have the "Disney look" - apparently referring to his beard and turban, which is required by his religion.
