School Settles Suit Over Pentagram Ban
From Times Wire Reports
A suburban Detroit high school settled a lawsuit with the American Civil Liberties Union, allowing an honor student who practices witchcraft to wear the symbols of her religion to class. Lincoln Park High School, in a blue-collar community south of Detroit, changed its policy so that Crystal Siefferly, 17, can wear a pentagram, a symbol important to her Wicca religion. The school had banned witches, white supremacists and Satanists, as well as black nail polish, vampire makeup and pentagrams.
