Bryan Killian, a high school student in North Buncombe, North Carolina was suspended for coming to school 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.
Read about it in the Metro or the Citizen-Times.
This story is blowing up and I’ve been having a lot of problems keeping the server running. It’s currently #1 on Digg and Reddit.
I’ll have some updates and more information about all this soon.
i wonder what would happen if i would bring parrot to school.
that would be awesome!
No shit he got suspended; what fukcing religion belive something to do with a pirate.
Hi Retartds.
What are you anyway? A retard or a tart?
Or a combo of both? i.e. a retarded tart? I get so confused with you guys on spring break…
@ Retartds – a religion having something to do with a pirate is just as valid – if not more – as one having something to do with wine and bread being the blood and flesh of someone from 2000 years ago (and it’s far less cannibalistic).
I plan to do a thing somewhat like this- only an eyepatch. I’ll make a point that it’s no different from somebody wearing a cross.
i don’t want to believe in what’s happened…i only believe in our monster.
i hope He could reach that school’s head with His noodly appendage and convert him.
Bryan: we are with you , from Italy

So I don’t think that is just as valid as commuion

I wonder with one sounds more holy pirates that steal or commuion an act of worship. Communion wins by a long shot.
@Retartds – Just because you don’t think plundering and stealing is an act of communion, doesn’t mean it’s not. Most Christians don’t think Jews are holy–in fact they murder them by the thousands–and yet, according to the Bible, they’re Gods chosen people, just like pirates are His chosen people
