Via Witchvox, comes a story from nwi.com (which appears to cover the Northwest) about a teenage Wiccan sent home from school for wearing a pentacle on her cheek at Beltane. My bet is that tattoos, for example, aren't disallowed at this public school, so it's difficult to understand how this is anything other than religious discrimination. As the young woman's father notes, catholics aren't sent home on Ash Wednesday when they show up with similar-sized smudges of ash on their foreheads.
M. Macha Nightmare has a post up discussing a recently-released book about teenage Wiccans.
A kid down south somewhere got sent home from school for wearing a t-shirt that said gays were sinners bound for hell. Establishment Clause should be binding to all religions.
ReplyDeleteFollowing on the heels of your post about how hard teens have it anyway, it really points out why.
ReplyDeleteI don't walk your path, Hecate, but it's a lot closer to my heart than those fetishes I see people wearing of a man being tortured to death.
