The close-mindedness of people never ceases to amaze me. Not long ago a friend of my daughters (15 yrs old) spent the night with two other girls. They burned a candle at night and spread ground up flowers around the base of the candle to make a type of potpourri. The mother of the girl whose house they were at smelled it and checked it out. She saw the ground up flowers and just knew it was witchcraft - no matter what the girls said. She called everyone's parents and sent everyone home for practicing witchcraft in her house. Her daughter is no longer allowed to associate with them. Now talk about ridiculous!

>After reading the article a bit more closely it appears that "the 2 women" complained to the school board. Granted there could be more who complained, but i think u can find 2 people to complain about anything. My favorite part: her son was asked to do different poses and "to put his hands together."
