Death threat directed at Weaverville woman who contested school Bible giveaway

[kpete]

WEAVERVILLE — Buncombe County investigators are looking into a threatening phone call made to a local woman who made headlines when she criticized a county school for making Bibles available to students.

Ginger Strivelli, a Pagan and the mother of a North Windy Ridge Intermediate School student, complained to school officials last month after her son brought home a Bible left at the school by Gideons International.

School officials have said the box containing the Bibles was opened in the main office, and students picked them up during their break.

The man called Thursday night, claiming he was calling from Moscow, according to Strivelli. He told Strivelli that he had 20 or 30 people working in this area, and “I was done for. I was dead,” Strivelli said Friday.

7. No church's around to drop off bibles at?

To drop them off at a school is an attempt to cause trouble.
