A Florida school district has begun exposing its students to a series of “witchcraft rituals” during its mid-week morning announcements, and a non-profit legal group is now demanding that it allow students to opt out of watching the presentation.
Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) on behalf of local community members, requesting opt-outs for the weekly “Witchy Wednesday” video series, which is aired school-wide at a local high school.

“The series, which is aired during mid-week morning announcements, is produced by students providing ‘religious instruction’ on spells, magic, moon worship and other witchcraft rituals,” attorneys with the legal group explained.

According to the letter, the first video in the series aired on Sept.10, and the host greeted students saying, “Good morning, witches,” and later gave instructions on how to cast a spell for “Light of Insight.” They also advised students on how to do a ritual “cleanse and recharge yourself.”
Liberty Counsel pointed out that students with sincere Christian religious beliefs would not be able to endorse this religious instruction nor would they be able to sit through it.

“According to recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which ruled parents have the right to opt their children out of instruction that undermines their religious beliefs, schools must provide opt-outs to ‘Witchy Wednesday’ if parents and students wish to abstain,” the group writes.
