Religious Discrimination in the USA
 
A student in North Carolina was suspended from school because of his religious beliefs. Although religious beliefs are not explicitly disouraged, it appears one has to adhere to the correct religion, to avoid being singled out and harassed.

School officials claim that their "decision to suspend Killian for a day has nothing to do with his religion, and quite a lot to do with his repeated refusal to heed warnings against wearing pirate outfits." Clearly some mandatory sensitivity training is in order here. They should have known that Pastafarians "acknowledge pirates as being 'absolute divine beings', and stress that the worldwide decline in the number of pirates has directly led to global warming."

I say: shame on you, hatemongers. It's people like this who want to undermine the values this great nation was founded on.

From its founding, the US has been a Pastafarian country don't deny the truth.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of his noodley appendage to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

And let's not confuse this with noodling.

I did too, drove the people at work crazy, but by the end of the day 4 or 5 others had joined in and we made the rest happy when the day ended.

To me, that's all that counts. 4 or 5 people is actually awesome results for something like that.

Yes, but you have to work to make it that way. For instance, if you Google the word SOUPFIG, you get plenty of hits, despite the fact that it's a nonsense word that I made up and subjected people to, until they started repeating it. You know, somebody has to initiate these things.
