And WHO, pray tell, is 'madam O'Harah'? Any relation to 'Harrah's' in
Vegas? What does that have to do with religion.
Perhaps you mean Madeline Murray O'Hare?

So okay, let's put 'religion' back in the public schools...
Whose religion? I know YOUR answer, you just want your private brand of
'Christianity'...but in fact, you'd have to provide ALL religious
viewpoints, not just Christianity: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,
Confuscism, and as you yourself have pointed out, since Wicca is
officially recognized as a religion, it would have to be taught, also...
along with Native American religions, Santeria, Voudoun, Satanism (also
officially recognized as a religion)...

I've never heard of 'the lock nest monster', but I DO know that modern
scientific studies lend more credence to the existence of the Loch Ness
monster than it does to the belief that a Jew convicted of treason 2000
years ago rose from the dead....

Just as YOU believe in the unfounded tenets of Christianity....

They also have the Bible, and books on Christianity. And Buddhism. And
Hinduism. And any number of other religions.
I know of NO school or public library which DOESN'T have at least one
Bible in its religion section...
