Sikh males actually have to carry a tiny dagger in the same way Muslim women need to wear the hijab so that does make them cool

Now I am trying to remember about that one case I heard about where they actually found some successful compromise for a Sikh boy to bring such a dagger to school with him without violating any of the school’s safety policies. But I can’t remember the details.

There are several such cases, I think it was either dagger shaped jewelry or a really, really small dagger which while technically a real dagger is so small that the school does not consider it to be a "weapon."

Now if only they would find a similar compromise with the headdress because Sikh police officers and soldiers put themselves in danger by not wearing a helmet.

I have no idea what the actual Sikh rules about turbans are (do they have to be self wrapped? do they have to show outwardly?) but I'm a little surprised no one's marketing a "turban inside a helmet" (or vice versa) with a built in turban.

Any religion that requires its members to carry a bladed weapon at all times is fucking badass by default.

I think that bringing a physical knife to school is considered an issue due to safety concerns, but wearing a depiction of a knife in jewelry, like the one above, is allowed.

And some schools do allow for religious exemption.

Too small to be a weapon? I didn’t think there were any schools that reasonable.

Damn, I wish those folks were in charge when I was barred from the Obama rally in 2008 because I forgot that I had a tiny pocket knife on my keychain. How deluded would I have to be to try and start trouble with a half-inch blade while surrounded by a bunch of far more heavily armed security personnel?

Almost definitely. With 98,817 (according to a quick and dirty google search) public schools in the USA, there are bound to be examples of almost every permutation of reasonable and unreasonable policy enforcement.
