January 1, Schools Ban Prayer but Push Witchcraft

Wyatt’s Take

• Public schools push witchcraft while banning Christian prayer.
• Parents are losing control over their kids’ moral and spiritual education.
• Letting schools teach this rewires American values from the ground up.

Florida parents were shocked when a public high school started airing “Witchy Wednesday,” promoting spells and rituals straight into classrooms.

After an outcry, the school stopped the videos, but many asked: how did witchcraft get a place while Christian teachings are pushed out?

The law promises no government-backed religion, but it’s hard to see fairness when school prayer is shut down and pagan practices get school airtime.

“schools cannot compel students to participate in, observe, or be exposed to religious exercises that violate their beliefs.”

If Christian prayer at football games is banned, how can lessons showing kids how to cast spells be allowed?

Witchcraft is officially a recognized religion, right alongside Christianity, meaning public schools promoting Wicca or “manifesting” are crossing a clear line.

Parents, not government, are supposed to raise kids with the morals and faith they choose.

Getting away from faith-based values, schools push these new beliefs as “self-expression” or “inclusivity.”

But this isn’t harmless; it teaches kids to put themselves at the center, trust in magic, and ignore any fixed right and wrong.

These aren’t just rare cases. Society is sliding from faith in God to faith in yourself, and our school systems carry this new message right to children’s desks.

Without any pushback, tomorrow’s lesson could be tarot cards or fortune telling, all under the name of tolerance.

The fight isn’t about Florida alone.

All parents should wonder who is shaping kids’ beliefs—families or the state?

Shielding our families from these trends keeps our communities strong, our children grounded, and our cherished values alive for the next generation. We cannot let our traditions and faith be rewritten by outside forces—parents have the say, not the state.
