Santeria didn't make the curriculum

I've heard lots of bad stuff about schools in New York City. Everyone there has heard the same stories too, so I don't know why anyone's really surprised that a principal tried a different way of making her school less negative...
A public school principal accused of performing religious rituals with candles, incense and chicken blood in an attempt to cleanse her high school of negative energy has been reassigned and will be fired, the Department of Education said Tuesday.If I was a student there, I'd be totally psyched about going back if I heard about this. "No way, I heard they killed a rooster in the cafeteria, and they poured the blood over that old janitor guy who cleans the bathrooms."
Maritza Tamayo, principal of the Unity Center for Urban Technologies, paid a woman named Gilda Fonte to lead several Santeria rituals at the Manhattan school during midwinter break in 2006, when students were not there, according to Richard Condon, the special commissioner of investigation for city schools. Tamayo coerced staff members to participate in and help pay for the cost of the ceremonies, investigators said.
I'd be stoked for world religions too. "What did you do in school today, Fred?" "I invoked the spirits of the dead to haunt George Bush, and to help me get Leah to go to Homecoming with me." "I forgot to tell you, she called just before you got here." "YES!"
the school had issues before they lived out levitical law through sacrifice. I Am not a Santero but it sounds like the principal was giving the schools issues to the spirit of truth and healing. For all its worth try eating some fresh chicken and not GMF(genetically modified food)

I used to work in the building that Unity School is locate in, 121 Avenue of the Americas. The entire building is full of bad energy and it affects everyone working there. One of the organizations located on another floor of the building, The Door - A Center for Alternatives, had a Supervisor working for them that left work one night only to murder his girlfriend and her sister. I've often wondered if he took bad spirits from the building home with him. There's been other odd behavior in the building - including a Door employee that once tried (unsuccessfully) to rid the building of evil through witchcraft (it is rumored). If Ms. Tamayo did what she is accused of doing, she was only right. Unfortunately it will take a lot more cleansing. In order to rid 121 Avenue of the Americas of bad spirits, a lot of people will have to go - including the man running the building Ms. Tamayo's school is located in - Dr. Micahel Zisser. Keep up the good work.
