Pagan Group's Flyer To School Students Upsets Christians

Rob Boston at Wall of Separation blog has a posting that might have been titled "be careful what you wish for". Last summer, conservative Christians convinced the Albemarle County, Virginia School Board to open its so-called "backpack mail" to religious nonprofits, as well as secular groups, so flyers advertising a Vacation Bible School could be sent home with elementary school students. But now some Christian clergy and others are upset because some local Pagans who attend a Unitarian Universalist church have used "backpack mail" to distribute a flyer advertising a program that will "explore the traditions of December and their origins, followed by a Pagan ritual to celebrate Yule."One minister says this argues for placing Christian children in Christian schools or home schooling them.
