Welcome To The Witches Homestead School For Witches
Author: EiTB Source: EiTB (Spain)
Title: WELCOME TO THE WITCHES HOMESTEAD SCHOOL FOR WITCHES
Cobwebs cling from the wooden rafters. Dusty shelves are cluttered with glass jars of home-brewed potions, dried herbs and stone amulets. An oil cooker and a black cauldron sit in the corner, ready for the next full moon. This isn't a Halloween party, it's Margarita Rongen's year-round workshop and she is a witch. Don't believe it? Check her tax return.
Dutch witches were guaranteed a financial treat when the Leeuwarden District Court reaffirmed their legal right to write off the costs of schooling, including in witchcraft, against their tax bills. Those costs run to thousands of euros (dollars).
The case, brought by one of Rongen's students, is brewing political fury in the halls of Dutch government where a member of parliament for the ruling Christian Democrats demanded an explanation.

When I read about the part where the Xtian Democrats mentioned that the money could have gone to "unemployed people"- I couldn't help but crack up. They probably wouldn't have spared a single thought at all to such people at all if it was going to fund another xtian "missionary school". They were just ticked and raising a stink because it's going to fund (gulp) witches! more specifically- (horrors) a school- for witches! I guess they didn't figure that a law that favored them could actually favor anyone else. Since both are a matter of faith- then it might behoove the lawmakers to also wonder how xtianity-specifically could prove any more efficiently in the workplace than witchcraft.
