Land O' Lakes Sub fired for Wizardy among other things:
http://www.tampabays10.com/news/local/article.aspx?storyid=79533

Land 'O Lakes, Florida -- The stories in the news about inappropriate relationships between teachers and students have been overwhelming. There was even a substitute teacher in New Port Richey who got in trouble after investigators say she had a relationship with an underage student.

Well, another Pasco County substitute teacher's job is on the line, but this time it's because of a magic trick.

The charge from the school district — Wizardry!

Substitute teacher Jim Piculas does a 30-second magic trick where a toothpick disappears then reappears.

But after performing it in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Piculas said his job did a disappearing act of its own.

"I get a call the middle of the day from the supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue. You can't take any more assignments. You need to come in right away,'" he said.

When Piculas went in, he learned his little magic trick cast a spell that went much farther than he'd hoped.

"I said, 'Well Pat, can you explain this to me?' 'You've been accused of wizardry,' . Wizardry?" he asked.


I actually know the Principal there, Dave Estabrrok, and he is a very nice person, not a racidal rightie. I can't imagine what the parent must've threatened.

My 8yo will be attending Rushe Middle School in a few years.

There are no words...no words...this country is living in the 16th century. I simply don't think I can raise my boy here...

Now they're saying there's "other things?" Is this what's in store for all non-christians?
