@stevesilberman this is so wrong. "One would think that a story like this would be out of 1890, not 2024.”

"[The letter] states that these 13-year-old girls will only be allowed to return to school if they agree to confess in front of the Wells church, school and community that they were worshiping the devil when they took part in the Sunrise Dance. They must promise never to do it again."
