Student Suspended For Belief In Spaghetti Monster (Or Was It The Pirate Oufit?)

There’s been controversy surrounding school wear when it comes to religion, but now the controversy has moved to the high seas - schools are targeting pirates.

Yes, a student in America has been banned from school for attending class dressed as a pirate. Bryan Killian says his religion requires him to dress as a pirate - he’s a Pastafarian.

Pastafarians follow the Flying Spaghetti Monster, 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.

The school, in North Buncombe, North Carolina, maintains that they are suspending the student for being dressed as a pirate - and not for his beliefs in pasta-based entities.
