Stewart had tenure, so the firing violated policy. She sued the school, who let the matter reach the trial stage, against the wishes of their attorney. The judge decided in her favor. Unfortunately for our entertainment, the trial just concerned employment law and incorporated very little fire or water. The judge did not even determine for sure whether Stewart was actually a witch.
In fact, no one involved ever said, “Witches aren’t real, this is ridiculous.” The superintendent claimed not to believe in witches personally, while adding, “but there are things beyond our comprehension, naturally.” Stewart, while denying being a witch, did say witches might exist … and also claimed to have ESP.
