I know that on occasion there have been specific school districts and maybe even whole state school boards in the U.S. that have tried to declare that
pi=3. I don't know if this had anything to do with their interpretation of Biblical text or if irrational numbers juts hurt their heads too much,
but it has happened. It doesn't tend to last that long, I don't think - probably just until the next round of elections for school board, but it
does happen.
