Lauren Berrios, 32, is suing the Hampton Bays School District in New York state for $1 million. She says the rumours first started because she wears black clothing, dramatic makeup and has long fingernails. District Superintendent J Bruce McKenna says the allegations are "ridiculous." He says Ms Berrios was released because of her teaching, not her alleged religious beliefs. Ms Berrios claims the accusations began following a reading lesson in which she mentioned visiting Salem, Massachusetts, where the witch trials took place.
