Is Darien Library’s Occult Workshop Bad for Kids? An Editorial and a Reply
|
Earlier on Friday, Darienite published a listing of Darien Library’s programs for teens in July, and we came across one that we object to, “Get to Know Your Inner Cosmic Being.” We love the library, but we think encouraging kids to explore this subject was a mistake and explained why in an editorial within the article and published here, below. We told library officials about the editorial and invited a response, also published below. The library’s response allays our concerns, somewhat, and we’re not saying the occult is among the riskier behaviors teens are likely to get into in Darien, but our concerns stand. Darienite’s Editorial
The library is offering a workshop introducing kids to things like numerology and tarot readings.
