A student at an Oklahoma High School, a member of the Wiccan http://religioustolerance.org/wic_nbr.htm faith, was suspended for wearing her chosen religious symbol to school. She was reinstated, hopefully with apologies, after a one day review.
"If Christians blatantly wear their crosses, or if Jews can wear a Star of David, why can't I wear my pentacle," Erickson said on Eyewitness News 5 Tuesday.
After meeting with school officials on Tuesday, Erickson was allowed to return to class. The suspension was based on the principal's misunderstanding of Wicca"
