Ever lived in the deep South? I did. White trash is dumber than cockroaches, and seemingly as common. Come join us under the noodly appendage of our Creator, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We are peaceful, unlike the whack-job white trash fundies. We don't start wars. We get laid all the time, and I don't mean with our cousins. And best of all, in our heaven, we have beer volcanoes and stripper factories! Wearing an eyepatch is preferable than undergoing a Bible-induced lobotomy. I am a Pastafarian, and pasta be upon thee:

You know how the teachers handled it? They ignored them and taught their classes.

At the same time, the punishment does not fit the crime. One stupid act by a 15 yr old does not cancel the stupidity of the vice-principal who should have known better.

I think it's an hillarious parody of religion. However, I worried almost right from the start that it might become a real religion. I wonder if this kid is the beginnings of someone taking this a tad far or if he's just a bit rebelious. I hope it's the latter. I worry about the former. It'd be pretty sick if people started actually getting killed over FSM just like any other religion. I love FSM. I think it’s an hillarious parody of religion.

However! Most schools have a policy against bandanas and other such headdresses, yet they let girls of the Muslim faith wear their headwraps (I forget what they're called) and they don't get suspended. That's what I don't get / agree with. To #7:

Can we skew every story to pick on people of faith? Short answer: yes! Try showing up to work dressed like this and some of you (many perhaps) will be sent home too. Holy cow.

And it looks like all he was doing was trying to be a smartass. That's what school is for, learning those lessons of life that would otherwise get your butt canned.

I got suspended a few times during my tenure in skool and i always had a blast (aka not having to deal with the BS ithat comes with the curriculum). If they want to punish the kids, give em homework.

Give me a break. You have the freedom to express your religion in PRIVATE and in public as long as it doesn't offend others (ie why you're not allowed to have school-sponsored prayers in class anymore) or cause a distraction (cutlass and eyepatch = distraction to others). I say the kid is just trying to get attention. Freedom of religion? Give me a break.
