Child suspended for his religious beliefs

[The Kangaroo]

This Child [http://www.newsique.com/us/student_punished_for_spaghetti_b//] was suspended from school for coming in in full pirate attire even though it's a key part of his religion.

I think that I may just convert to Pastafarian [http://www.venganza.org/] just for this.

What do you think and why?

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

That student is a bloody hero. No, screw it, a messiah. I raise a flagon of ale in his honour!

R'amen.

Eh well it is a pretty weird religon but sure why not wear a full pirate costume? Ninjas get to wear full ninja costumes to school.

 

[T-Bone24]

Isn't that quite an old story? I swear I heard it a while ago.

Yeah, after reading it says it's from May 2007.

It's a valid argument, though. Pastafarianism is equally as likely as Christianity, or Judaism, or Islam, or any religion. If you like it, I suggest you read up on Russell's Teapot [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot] concept.

That has to be the best religion evar.

Uh...... i think the school did a good thing i mean who the hell goes to school dressed as a pirate?

Oh u.
Did you actually read the link? Or the title? Or.. anything? He dressed as a pirate for his religious beliefs.

what I think is, ban all religious attire from schools. good decision.

also pirates are shit and anyone who likes them is shit

This kid is awesome. Period.

 

[ChocoFace]

That was an amusing read.

They said they suspended him because of his outfit, not because of his religion. His outfit is part of his religion, therefor if they are not discriminating against his religion he should be allowed to come in a pirate costume at school because of his religion.

 

[Skeleon]

Meh, I hate it when people try to make statements with stupid acts such as this.

R'amen.

May he touch you with his noodly appendage

He will go down in our history

Not any stupider then the other religions I herd of...

It's the same as suspending a girl because she wore a Burka to school...

Pastafarians do. That's the point of the article.

Someone clearly needs to be educated in the ways of Pastafarianism. Go here [http://www.venganza.org/], and be enlightened!

R'amen.

That's just bad

What?

I wish I was at his school that day.
