I always felt that Long Island/NYC Metro area was a pretty liberal, open minded place to live. But, reading this makes me wonder:

Hired in 1999, Berrios was a reading specialist at the school. During her second year there, she said, she began to hear from parents that rumors were spreading that she was a witch.

Then, she said, Albano began removing books from her classroom, such as Shakespeare's plays and the Goosebumps series, which Berrios claims he disliked because they involve goblins, soothsayers and ghosts. Berrios said the paranormal went against Albano's born-again Christian beliefs.

I would like to hear more on the flip side about this. I will certainly be watching for updates to this.
