Summary of the Story :
Woman looses custody based on her alleged involvement in Wicca. She then looses the appeal. The Judges who ruled against her use her alleged religion of Wicca to support the decision.
Two dissenting Judges agree that this is a travesty of justice and blatant religious discrimination.
The same kind of Judiciary religious discrimination has happened to a friend of mine. She was ordered to keep her children away from Pagan influence and activities - or loose custody.
Instead of ranting on how most christians will be gathering torches and protesting how any person be allowed to raise their child other than christian, I am going to provide some resources that might can help those in this situation.
If you feel that you have been discriminated against because of your religion (no matter what that may be), here are some contacts or ways to contact.
- The American Civil Liberties Union of your area
- The United States Department of Justice : Special Counsel for Religious Discrimination
- Maybe a Local Lawyer.

- EEOC on Religious Discrimination
- and while you're suing, Lawsuit Funding
Finally, to help keep watch on the government, join the ACLU!
