Sure, since that's always been the established case with the crucifix. But having them tatooed on your face? What, next we will be suing corporate America when they refuse to hire a worker decked out in Maori war-tattoes or Satanic facial artwork?<br/><br/>Wearing pentacles on the face is "pushing" Wicca onto others in a secular setting that is obviously in violation of seperation of church and state. I am a Wiccan, and if someone asks me, I will tell them, or they might notice my pentacle and ask, but I am NOT going to get into anybody's face with it, because it is my own personal deal and no one elses. I think the students who ripped her necklace off her neck or harrased her should have been disciplined and counseled and that should have been the end of it.

Sorry Mr. Superintendent, but if you let Christians wear their crosses, you have to let pagans wear their pentacles. Freedom of religion means ALL religions.
