Indiana Court Of Appeals Overrules Marion County Judge, Saying Parents Can Expose Their Children To Nontraditional Religions, e.g., Wicca

Okay, here's the thing I don't get.


I would have understood if, say, a Wiccan and a Christian got divorced, that the one might request that the child not be exposed to the religion of the other. (It wouldn't be okay, but I'd at least understand why a court might even mention the subject).

But if both parents are Wiccan, who the hell asked the court to interfere in the first place?

Read the original as well. Sounds like a judge with a problem of world veiw. Hopefully he\she gets something more than a slap on the writst for being such an ingoramus.

Kudos to the people who got it ove turned.

The original order happened in a country that _supposedly_ has religious freedoms? I'm stayin' here.

OTOH, thank goodness the Appeals Court actually does know the law.

And once again, freedom of (and from) religion in our society is saved from little two-bit tyrants at the local level. Hooray for freedom!

Wait for a couple more Bush judges to be appointed, and see if appeals courts still overturn such rulings.

Heck, I won't be surprised if Bush promotes the Marion judge to the Federal bench because of this case.
