School punishes student for wearing symbol of his faith. Oh you are going to love this!

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.

The sophomore spent Wednesday at home after an administrator took issue with his accessories.

“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.”
Freedom of religion?

Yes, Killian says, his “pirate regalia” is part of his faith — the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The kid has a point. If Christians are allowed to wear a crucifix, and Muslims are allowed to wear a burka, then how can this boy be denied his right to wear an eye patch?

I just love stuff like this!
