On November 13, 2003 the American Civil Liberties Union reported that "a federal magistrate here has ruled that the process by which the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors selects religious leaders to pray at the beginning of its meetings violates separation of church and state. The case, Simpson v. Chesterfield Board of Supervisors, was filed last year on behalf of Cynthia Simpson, a Wiccan, who was told that she could not pray at the meetings because she did not practice a religion 'within the Judeo-Christian tradition.' Simpson was represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, with assistance from Americans United for Separation of Church and State...In today’s decision, U.S. District Court magistrate judge Dennis W. Dohnal ruled that by preferring some religions over others, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors is violating the constitutional mandate for separation of church and state and discriminating against Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and many other religions widely practiced in the United States. The judge ordered the County to change the policy to include all faiths or to stop using the policy altogether."
