There was a meme on FB that had a picture of a young girl with a wand inside a pentagram obviously casting a spell...Underneath is said something to the effect of "I don't think this is what Newt Gingrich had in mind..." Very true. If you allow one faith to pray, you have to allow them all. Do we start allowing for pagan rituals as well? I can just imagine the uproar when the first sabbat is celebrated in a school in a very Christian area. They get their panties in a wad when adults do it (been there, done that back when I lived in SW Louisiana)...I can just imagine their response to this happening in Schools. Speaking of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal and all of this supporters got all up in arms when a bunch of Muslim schools decided to apply for the voucher program that was passed (and later struck down as unconstitutional). It was OK for Christian school to try and leech off the taxpayer's tit, but as soon as Muslim Schools got involved...be careful what you wish for ;-)
