Judge Outlaws Teaching Paganism.
An Indianapolis father is appealing Marion County Judge Cale J. Bradford's order that prohibits a divorced couple from teaching their child "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals."

The Father of the child has brought the case before the Indiana Court of Appeals, with help from the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. They filed their request for the appeals court to strike the one-paragraph clause in January.
