Very strange cult......they come to my door all of the time....
She is ovelaying her personal beliefs upon that school and should be sued for it.
This has nothing to do with 'culture'...she is lying.

Double facepalm for me. One for being a former JW one for being a (still proud...kinda) New Yorker.
Just as a side note, as a Jehovahs witness, people are encouraged to "preach to the good news." She probably thinks this is some kind of proselytizing. Conversely Witnesses are also admonished to not "become unevenly yolked" and to "pay back caesars things to caesar." In other words taking on jobs where you might be asked to take an action that conflicts with your spiritual integrity (ie police, military, any kind of government work
INCLUDING A PUBLIC SCHOOL PRINCIPLE) is highly discouraged. Looks like someone needs to read the watchtower some more...
