CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) - Was she casting spells or teaching spelling?
In an unfolding trial, lawyers are debating a former teacher's claims in a US$2-million federal lawsuit that she was improperly fired from Hampton Bays elementary school because administrators and others thought she was a witch.

Fmr teacher says boss fired her believing she was witch
You can sue for anything these days and we have another whacky one to look at today. With teachers dating students to crazy kids shooting up schools, why not a witch? This one thinks she got fired "allegedly" for practicing witchcraft is at the very least creative with the whole effort. This one is a good read for when you are chilling out on your sectional sofas and kicking back with your laptop and a nice cold one.

At least they didn't burn her. She should come work in California. We have folks from all sorts of backgrounds and witches don't bother anybody.
Even if she was a witch who cares anymore? Apparently someone does, but this is just one of those non-issues to me. I've had a few employees over the years that claim they are witches or warlocks or whatever, and usually it seems like it is more of an attention getting device for them than anything.
