She put a hex on his career. A voodoo-practicing guidance counselor was given the boot from a Brooklyn high school because his principal was spooked by his religious practices, he told The Post. Haitian-born Stevenson Petit was axed this month from the public It Takes a Village Academy in Brooklyn. A July 8 letter from ITAVA Principal Marina Vinitskaya said Petit was being “excessed” because his position was no longer necessary.
