Reason 211 to Homeschool
Kooky Principals won’t hire a Voodoo priestess to drip chicken blood, smoke cigars, burn incense, read tarot cards, and speak in tongues to drive out evil from the school.
Congratulations Moron on your new Pink Slip!
From the New York Daily News here:
A Manhattan principal determined to rid her school of “negative energy” paid a Voodoo priestess to drip chicken blood on the floors and stalk the halls with dozens of lighted candles during bizarre Santeria ceremonies, investigators and sources revealed yesterday.
Principal Maritza Tamayo invited a neighbor to perform the rituals twice in Unity Center for Urban Technologies in SoHo – hoping “it would calm the students down.”
Education officials are pushing to fire Tamayo, a 17-year veteran of city schools who earned $133,998 last year. The Sixth Ave. school, once a second-chance haven for dropouts, isn’t among the city’s most violent but has had consistently low test scores.
Its a private school that teaches kooky, liberal foolishness, like “globalism awareness” and “thought exercises.” Of course students will fail there because there are no teachers that teach substantive material.
Over midwinter break, two staffers saw Tamayo in a white headdress and carrying branches, elephant plant leaves and incense up to the school’s fourth floor. Walking beside Tamayo was her neighbor Gilda Fonte – carrying on her head a silver tray with about 40 lighted candles.
Crooks-Simpson agreed to participate in one of the rituals and heeded Tamayo’s creepy warning: “Wear white. If there’s anything evil, it won’t get on you.” Crooks-Simpson sat in a conference room as Fonte “took two puffs from a brown cigar,” spoke in another language and read tarot cards, according to yesterday’s report.
Tamayo displayed a black doll wrapped in purple fabric with its head covered in pins in her office.
Tamayo gave investigators lengthy excuses for every allegation. She denied holding the ceremonies, said the head with pins was an interior design project and that the cloth doll belonged to her predecessor.
Black magic woman, You’re Fired!
Slow down and take a look at mitigating circumstances before judging Ms. Tamayo. I used to work in that building, 121 Avenue of the Americas. The entire building was and I suppose still is, full of bad energey. It affects everyone working there. The group downstairs, The Door, had a man working for them that murdered his girlfreind and her sister after leaving the building one night. I often wondered if he’d taken a bad spirit home with him. There is a rumor that another employee had once attempted witchcraft in an effort to cleanse the building. If Ms. Tamayo did this, I think she was only right. Only I fear in cleansing the place of bad spirits, a lot of people will have to go – including the people running the building – because that’s where it comes from.
Steve,
There is no such thing as evil spirits. Just bad people and superstitious kooks, neither of which belongs in the educational industry.
I am with you 100% Pat.
