You know what I like about the 21st Century? That we are so enlightened and less prone to superstitous beliefs. And then comes this story.

Woman Says She Was Fired Because Principal Said She Practiced Witchcraft

A Long Island elementary school teacher is suing the Hampton Bays school district after she was fired because her administrators allegedly believed she was a witch teaching witchcraft to her students. Her lawyer is calling the case a "21st century re-enactment of the Salem Witchcraft Trials."

Her attorney, John Ray, says she was the victim of a public school district trying to push Christian values.

Even before she was fired, Berrios says her principal removed books from her classroom, including the popular series "Goosebumps," as well as "Harry Potter." She believes books that didn't mesh with principal's religious values, even including African-American literature, were taken out of her curriculum.

Ray admits that Berrios' appearance didn't help her cause either, especially when she was teaching her students about the Salem witch trials. "Mrs. Berrios has long fingernails, wears dark make-up, wears black," he said.

So her crime was that she had "Goosebumps" and "Harry Potter" books in her classroom, and she dressed in black? Sounds pretty airtight to me.

Well you know the only way to prove it one way or the other is to throw her in a lake and see if she floats. Idiots!

And these people are educators. This shit just makes me sad.
