School: Pirates are not welcome – citizen-times.com: This poor kid has been discriminated against because of his belief. Oh, the humanity!
When you’re a pirate, some dangers just come with the territory: scurvy, grog hangovers, a walk down the plank at sword point.
But being kicked out of school for a day?
Bryan Killian doesn’t think that’s a fair reaction to his decision to come to North Buncombe High School wearing an eye patch and an inflatable cutlass.
“I feel like my First Amendment was violated,” Killian, 16, said. “Freedom of religion and freedom of expression. That’s what I tried to do, and I got shot down.”
His “pirate regalia” is part of his faith — the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Cheap dramatization the kid being escorted out of school
Aaarrrgh, all smartasses will henceforth be keelhauled. If still unrepentant, then they’ll be forced to walk the plank. There’ll be none of the smartassery while I’m Captain of this ship!
To reiterate, Aaarrrgh!
#17 – Jack,
I’ll be sure to hide when the Linguisition comes.
