Several Frederick County school board members earlier this month voted to oppose offering a comparative religion course for fear that students would be exposed to witchcraft and Satanism.
"I don't think that's the kind of course we want to provide," said board member Daryl A. Boffman. "I don't think we should introduce those elements to students. It may encourage them to look into it further. I don't want the school system to be the spark."
Board members voted 4-2-1 at their Nov. 10 planning session to oppose the measure.

That's too funny ! I want a sign like that on my lawn. And I was just kidding about the Tinkertoys comment.
As a parent, I don't trust anyone, especially so-called Christians, to be informing my children on religion of any kind. Beliefs should be private.
