Student suspended for dressing like pirate

[PMS Kahlo]

A 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.

Pastafarians follow the Flying Spaghetti Monster (pictured), and believe that the world was created by the touch of his noodly appendage. Furthermore, they acknowledge pirates as being 'absolute divine beings', and stress that the worldwide decline in the number of pirates has directly led to global warming.

Pastafarianism gained wide attention when its key prophet, Bobby Henderson, wrote to the Kansas School Board during the height of the controversy over 'Intelligent Design' being taught in science classes. His letter, also published on his website, demanded equal time be given to the teachings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as was given to ID and evolutionary theory.

Since then, the Flying Spaghetti Monster has gained countless followers worldwide, although there are those who remain spagnostic.

The school, in North Buncombe, North Carolina, remains adamant that their decision to suspend Killian for a day has nothing to do with his religion, and quite a lot to do with his repeated refusal to heed warnings against wearing pirate outfits.

Honestly it all sounds a bit ridiculous to me. But I thought it was a funny story and I wanted to share. What do you guys think?

Arrrrr!

[RandomHero]

Arrrrr!

Yargh, thems be mighty fine arguments!

I may have to join the pastafarianist movement and bring the word of the flying spaghetti monster to the UK.

Suspending someone for wearing different clothes is just segregating someone for their beliefs. Next they will shoot anyone who wears a cap in a direction that isn't at right angles to their line of sight.

Ninjas will go to any length to turn the world against pirates. That's why they're so sneaky, and why Ninjas will win.

[Crash Assassin]

It sounds weird to me, but if he chooses to dress like that it shouldn't matter.

[JadedV]

Sounds like someone is pulling our chains. I don't think this story is serious.

Actually, I was surfing on the internet a while back and ran into the whole Flying Spaghetti Monster article on Wiki. He really did make it and, according to the FSM, global warming is attributed to the decrease of pirates in the world. So I don't doubt this article that much at all. Just think that he's doing it for a good cause lol. :)
Although I am surprised that the kid actually knew about it...

Here's a link to the Wiki article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

[Hasishin]

So guys. When do you think Microsoft will make their own religion?

Or maybe I will start to worship the Gears!

[NeonPanther]

They're obviously just taking the piss.
But I think the school board were right in suspending the kid if it was disrupting class. If the kid claimed it was all part of his religeon, he was probably just seeing if he could get away with it.

[RandomHero]

But if someone decided to wear a jesus outfit (not sure who sells them) to school chances are they would just be allowed. This is pirate racism.
