Pagan Police Get Right to Take Pagan Holidays

"Police officers have been given the right to take days off to dance naked on the solstices, celebrate fertility rituals and burn Yule logs if they profess pagan beliefs," reports the U.K. Times.
"The Pagan Police Association claimed yesterday that it had been recognised by the Home Office as a 'diversity staff support association' -- a status also enjoyed by groups representing female, black, gay, Muslim and disabled officers."
Yes, there will dancing in the streets and sacred groves. But all may not be well, according to the Times. For "there is unease in policing circles that the widening definition of diversity is creating a morass of organisations based on religion, gender and sexual orientation that appear to emphasise division."
