The Washington Standard After a scandal that rocked the northern Colorado community involving the Poudre School District promoting transgenderism to children and encouraging them to hide it from parents, staff doubled down by enlisting a transgender self-proclaimed “witch” to carry on the work.
Parents, staff, and community leaders who spoke with The Epoch Times expressed sentiments ranging from serious concern to outrage over what they described as dangerous and inappropriate indoctrination.
As part of what district officials refer to as efforts to be “inclusive” of those with different sexual orientations and gender identities, a broad range of LGBT programs are offered, and even mandated, for both students and teachers.

Others include Tarot Card reading, rituals involving the use of blood, polyamorous relationships, the casting of “spells,” and even teaching “witchcraft” and “magical activism,” public social-media posts and her own website reveal. She regularly describes herself online as a “witch.”
On her website’s “Work With Me” page, for example, Wellington advertises her services as a witch.
“Less advertised, but deeply important to me, I am a practiced witch and actively priestex [non-binary term for priest or priestess] in the Reclaiming Tradition,” Wellington said, referring to a feminist neopagan branch of witchcraft. “I aim to root all of my work in communion with the wisdom of the body.”
Wellington also boasts of being able to integrate the teachings into secular contexts…
