Student punished for spaghetti beliefs

The Flying Spaghetti MonsterA student has been suspended from school in America for coming to class dressed as a pirate.

But the disciplinary action has provoked controversy – because the student says that the ban violates his rights, as the pirate costume is part of his religion.

Bryan Killian says that he follows the Pastafarian religion, and that as a crucial part of his faith, he must wear 'full pirate regalia' as prescribed in the holy texts of Pastafarianism.

The school, however, say that his pirate garb was disruptive.

Its practically mandated by society, that we believe in a guy who was born via sex with a ghost...and ONLY that religion. Dont you dare make up a competing myth.

Also; its ok to have real life murdering pirates usurp our government, but its illegal for a kid to dress like a pirate?

AArrrgh!
