QUOTE 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. -------------------- 32-bit whore

I thought that initially as well, but I think it basically means religious classes for children and just used "sunday schools" as an example. I could be wrong, though. It would not surprise me in the slightest if everyone that works at the IRS is a bible-banging, brimstone-fearing, abortion-protesting, gay-fearing, contemporary christian music-listening, rapture-anticipating douche bag. |

Nah, because Wicca is a legally recognized religion. It doesn't meet many of the criteria that you listed, so I presume those are just general guidelines, not strict rules. -------------------- |
