Massachusetts Woman Allowed to wear Colander on Driver License Photo
DMV, License
A Massachusetts agency is letting a woman who belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster wear a colander on her head in her driver's license photo after she cited her religious beliefs.
Miller says wearing the spaghetti strainer allows her to express her beliefs, like other religions are allowed to do. Lowell resident Lindsay Miller said Friday that she "absolutely loves the history and the story" of Pastafarians.
A spokesman for the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles says policy does not permit head coverings or hats on license photos, but exceptions are made for religious reasons.
