RM asks: "
Can you tell me what you know and think about "Peace Circles"? Everything I am finding looks to be a very feminist-based program (and not of the true feminism that John Paul II promoted). When reading what I have found (by googling "peace circles"), some of it sounds on the "up and up". Who doesn't want peace? But the program is being incorporated in my daughter's high school French III class with no connection to French at all. We have met with the teacher and administration about our dislikes of the use of this in the classroom, and met head to head with much opposition. Every one of them lauded the use of Peace Circles. Our daughter has not been comfortable with the use of the peace circle especially because of the use of the lit candle, rain stick, rock and 'talking piece'. Your insight into this matter is greatly appreciated."

I'm from Ireland and wanted to get my niece a ring for her eighteenth birthday and she wants a birthstone ring. I'm not certain if there is any new age association. I would really appreciate it if you could answer this question.”

Disney’s new Halloween movie, Hocus Pocus 2, continues the sad decline of the once fabled producer of family-friendly entertainment into films that portray evil as hip, trendy, and fun rather than what it is – deadly.
