Sure, it seems like a really crappy idea on the surface... but think about how many puppies will be in Dubya's litter when I apply for federal funds to run the nation's first Wiccan Marochial School! Wouldn't it that be worth the bricks coming out of the Wall right there? Wouldn't it?

Do it. I dare ya'.

Hee hee!

I used to not care about this issue so much. After all I went to a (technically) Presbyterian-affiliated college, and many of my classmates got federal financial aid.

But then I found out the Lutheran school my girlfriend works at teaches creationism in science classes. My tax money is NOT going to be used to lie to the nation's children.

[My gf doesn't actually work for the school, she works for an ESL academy that leases classroom space in the school.]

Even better; we can teach the Ancient Egyptian creationism in my Wiccan Marochail School!

(Basically, the story is that the god Atum masturbated the universe into existence, from what I've been told by a jobless philosophy major. Even if it's not true, it'd still be a great puppy-inducer.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Oxymoron? That's redundant!

D'oh! That's what I meant! I can't even make the excuse of posting that before my morning caffeine...complete brain fart.

That's one of many Ancient Egyptian creation myths, and for some strange reason, lots of them involve masturbation (five words: Horus; Seth; lettuce; salad cream). Let nobody say the Egyptians had hangups about their sexuality...

Are there actually any Wiccan schools in the USA yet?

I've HEARD (and have been to lazy to actually look it up) that there was back in the mid-70's in some Non-CA western state... don't remember what happened to it though. My feeble recollection of Facts-I-Almost-Paid-Attention-To wants me to say it was arson-ized repeatedly.

So no, probably not.
