Remember that divorce case back towards the end of May when a divorcing couple were both refused the right to teach their child Wicca because the judge feared that the boy might become "confused" between their beliefs and those of his Catholic school?

The superior court of the county where they live has upheld the decree.

This is not an attack on Wicca or the First Amendment. The judge and commissioner support the constitutional guarantee concerning freedom of religion. But this case is not just about freedom of religion. It's about the court's obligation to protect minor children from certain rituals that might be harmful to their well-being, whether or not those things are affiliated with a religion.


Like consuming the blood and flesh of your god isn't a twisted and repulsive ritual?
