Freedom of thought = good... The FSM will always have my vote in the creation of the world stakes but I would hope that my belief in Him (in all His noodly glory), would not preclude me from a job in any field (excepting perhaps priest/spiritual leader of another faith)... Beliefs (no matter how stupid/brilliant/eveything in between), should not be a criteria for ones ability to teach (though if they start trying to preach creationism to me in a biology class they can GTFO).
In short I am kinda for this, though it seems like a stupid, pointless publicity stunt more than an attempt to protect freedoms.
