The Wicca Ban

Letters of Note 9/24/09 10:44 AM Shaun law controversial religion
Julie Carpenter is a Wiccan. A Wiccan who at one time had a relationship with Jonathon Sharkey, a self-proclaimed Satanist and Vampire who at one time decided to run for Governor of Minnesota. As a result of the predictable media attention surrounding said campaign and subsequent unveiling of her own beliefs, Julie's then employer - Peterson Bus of Princeton - received the following letter from the Princeton Schools Superintendent, in which he requests the termination of her contract as a bus driver; a post she had, until this point, held for four years without blemish. A bizarre situation, elevated to comical heights by the final sentence in the second paragraph of this letter.
