The New Jersey State Board of Education has approved a list of religious holidays that can be used by students as excused absences for the next school year. On this list are the eight Pagan/Wiccan holidays. New Jersey is the first state to give approval to Pagan holidays.
While I don't live in New Jersey (and have since graduated from school), as a Wiccan, I think this is very interesting. Not sure what precedent this might set for the states, but who knows.
What do you think of the BoE's decision to add Pagan holidays to their list?
