She is claiming something much more serious. At least according to her beliefs.<BR/><BR/>Some Christians believe that things like Harry Potter or Oiujui boards etc. actually invite the influence of the devil and demons into ones life.<BR/><BR/>Now you and I, most people who read this blog, and even substantial numbers of Christians think this is silly.<BR/><BR/>However, school districts and other government agencies give reasonable religious exemptions for some things. Jewish holidays for example. <BR/><BR/>The person in question was a teaching assistant, that is significant, and I wonder if it would have been better to just re-assign her for this activity?Sheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743116454273042629noreply@blogger.com
