This has happened not to far from where I live. I understand the outrage, but I will let you guys see it and decide for yourselves where this is going. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/01/18/pa … na-school/ It pertains to the Bible and a Wiccan book of magic.
It doesn't surprise me. It just shows that a public school shouldn't support any religion because if they do they need to support all religions. The school may just say ok we'll distribute these Wiccan books. That would be interesting. Then all the parents who don't approve of that can speak up. So see it's easier for a school to just have no religious affiliation which is the law anyway.
What a shocker; that all religions are treated the same, but only if Christian. I never would have expected [i]that[/] from an American school.
From the article, it appears the school board acted reasonably and rationally. They had an open policy to all religions, until they realized what constituted all religions. At which time they decided to reevaluate the policy. I would expect no less.
Reasonably and rationally? They had an open policy to all religions until someone not of their faith wanted to be a part of that fine ideal. At that point reevaluation was necessary.
I, too, would expect no less.

Many people have their own opinions on Paganism. What are yours? Are your opinions based off of your being a Pagan, knowing a Pagan personally, careful research/experience, hearsay, or something else? What is your definition of "Pagan" and "Paganism?" Since "Pagan" is...

What do you all believe as far as creation/evolution, a little bit of both? As a Wiccan we believe in a creation of sorts, that ties into evolution in certain aspects (at least I do)...what do you all believe...and I'm asking the Pagans here.
