| I Live Up In Canada And Go To A Catholic High School... | Aug 21st. at 12:17:06 am EDT |

| Autumn Rain (OrlŽans, Ontario CA) | Age: 15 - Email |

I live up in Canada and go to a catholic high school. I would go to a public one but my parents would rather I didn't. At first my teachers didn't have a problem with my wearing a pentagram some even talked to me about it but they didn't mind at all. I had even brought a "wiccan Book" because I didn't have time to go to my locker) to a class and when the teacher saw it he said that it was a "every interesting subject" and said it without being sarcastic. but then we got a new vice principle and things changed. I think that since I do go to a catholic high school I should ably to there rules of not wearing a pentagram because it is a catholic high school. I still were one but it's not very noticeable. I don't on the other hand being told that I'm a freak and I'm going to hell for worshiping the devil. If they simply ask me to remove it I would gladly do it. It is after all a catholic high school.
If I were going to a public high school I believed that if they band the pentagram they should also band crosses and the six pointed Jewish star. They shouldn't have prayers though nice thoughts of they day are nice as long as it doesn't contain words of prayer to the Christian god. Or they could simply allow pentagrams. Why should "mainstream religions" get more respect? Be allowed to express them selves as they please. we should all be treated the same no matter your race religion and so on. So my point in all of my rambling either allow all religions in schools and give them all the same respect or keep them completely separate (for public schools any way's)
