Ramon,
PBS did not air a documentary about a Sikh Boy stabbing a classmate. It was a fictional series called "The Jury". In the story, yes the boy is accused but is eventually found innocent. The crime in the series was evaluated from the position of a jury so positive and negative aspects of Sikh culture, not religion(in my opinon) were touched upon. Just as the subject of bullying of Sikh children by english children was explored and shown to be a reprehensible reality that not only Sikh but other immigrant children must face.
I agree PBS must be more responsible, especially in these times, of how it depicts Sikhs. I am curious to know how they will respond to the Smart letter.
P.K.T
