“But when Strivelli showed up at the school with pagan spell books, she was turned away.”
Because making potions and drinking them or making others drink them is dangerous.
This is common sense.
Before a text comes a religion.
The offended religionist should have her religion re-evaluated, THEN (re) evaluate the religionist.
Only then can qualified evaluation(s) of which and whom might be truncated be determined.
Any school boy that would want to hook up with cute witch chick, thinking she would have looser morals, should take a look at the mom to see what she’ll look like in 20 years. It might make them think twice!
If Ginger Strivelli’s son had brought home a Koran, I’m sure she would have smiled approvingly on the schools wonderful sense of diversity and it’s celebration of multiculturalism.
She’s an anti-Christian. Let’s call it what it is.
I think they should consider themselves fortunate they were challenged by a local crack-pot from some fringe "religion", as opposed to having to deal with a bunch of well organized, lawyered-up, CAIR representatives showing up with a thousand copies of the Koran.
Witches really are ugly.
It is the obligation of the parents not the school to provide religious base for their children.
Any good school would have available in their library any religious text from the multiple versions of the Holy Bible to the Torah, Koran, and even Satanism.
If the reporting is accurate, I gotta go with the witch on this one.
It’s never was about a separation of Church and State. It was that the Federal Constitution demands that No national religion be adopted. States were different until they took FEDERAL MONEY.
This being a state issue NC Constitution:
Sec. 13. Religious liberty.
All persons have a natural and inalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences, and no human authority shall, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.
Again, this is a matter for parents not government.
