School Teacher Fired Over "Wizardry"
It's Florida. I shouldn't wonder. A substitute teacher was fired for doing a magic trick in front of his students. When he was fired, he was told it was for "wizardry."
Now, we're not talking about animal sacrifice or any sort of Wiccan ritual. No, this was garden-variety stage magician stuff. Substitute teacher Jim Piculas made a toothpick disappear, then reappear in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land O' Lakes, Florida.
Piculas says he got a call in the middle of the day from the head supervisor of substitute teachers. He was told "Jim, we have a huge issue. You can't take any more assignments. You need to come in right away." When he asked about it, he says he was told, "You've been accused of wizardry."
Now, it should be noted that the Pasco County School District said there were several other performance issues. Still, it was wizardry that was named, according to Piculas, as the straw that broke the camel's back, or rather, the incident that made his job vanish.

The Fuck you say!?
No wonder so many people are deciding to homeschool. This ridiculous accusation is yet another example of the incompetence that is prevalent in public schools.
Yet one more reason I wish the South would have succeeded!
They take the North's tax money, they supplied us with NASCAR and George Bush, now this!?

I guess that is how "educated" northern liberals spell SECEDED ...
BTW I am from NY and sick of being around close minded spawns of Stalin.
Wouldn't it be a good practice to leave some references for your blogs? This one smells of sensationalisim and bias.
Like it wouldn't be that difficult to confirm a story this ridiculous...

This is the same state that gave us the Panama City Beach School District which banned almost the entire English cannon from its high school as recently as fifteen years ago (to the credit of the city's residents, they rose up and had the superintendent that banned everything from Shakespeare to Twain removed and the books reinstated). Should this really be so surprising.
Succeeded in winning the Civil War. Too bad this guy couldn't make you disappear.
Yes - the Confederate states did, in fact, SECEDE from the Union; they just didn't SUCCEED with that plan in the long run.
The More You Know...
(BTW, this is a different Anonymous than the one who nitpicked before.)
Exactly, they did secede. So who's "edumacated" now?
