Witchcraft debate: nativity scene proposed for school
South Hutchinson parents and clergy clash over Halloween witchcraft displays in public schools. Rev. Danny Gabbart argues a Supreme Court ruling on tax exemptions for witchcraft implies a need to balance with a nativity scene during Christmas. Critics say no religion is declared. schools could still display Halloween symbols. Principal Diener would consider a donated nativity scene if requested.
