Demonic Compulsion: School Ran Weekly Witchcraft Address, Shut It Down Once They Couldn’t Force It on Christians Anymore

Officials in an Orlando school district have canceled a weekly high school video program called “Witchy Wednesday,” the Washington Times reported.
[snip]The first episode ran Sept. 10 at West Orange High School in the city of Winter Garden.It opened with a full moon backdrop.

A teenage girl discussed moon cycles, burning incense, and casting spells.

She signed off, “That’s all for today, Warriors. Have a wicked Wednesday.”

Read plainly, the segment taught students occult ritual as a classroom broadcast.

That fact alone should alarm parents. It should also prompt a question about the school’s judgment.

Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal group in nearby Maitland, Florida, challenged the district.

It demanded either time for a biblical response or an opt-out for Christian students. Ultimately, Christians were permitted to opt out.

On Sept. 23, West Orange Public Schools canceled the program completely.

The timing matters. The cancellation followed a legal demand aimed at protecting Christian students’ rights.

Given that context, the program’s abrupt end after Liberty Counsel’s intervention is revealing.

Its quick cancellation makes only one reasonable conclusion: The broadcast could only succeed if it could lead young people astray.

Once access to Christians was removed, the show lost its purpose.

In Winter Garden, the school allowed a program to go the extra mile by attempting to come between kids and their faith.
