Florida Teacher Fired for "Wizardry"

I thought that I had heard it all about the stupidity that floats about in the Sunshine State. But this one takes the cake. Apparently, a middle school substitute teacher performed a magic trick involving a disappearing toothpick.

One kid told his parents, who took umbrage at their little darling being exposed to the dark arts. Next thing, the teacher was fired, for "wizardry".

I had better hide my broom, before someone accuses me of being a
witch! Rolling Eyes

The telephone call that spelled the end of Jim Piculas’ career as a substitute teacher in Pasco County came on a January day about a week after he performed the disappearing-toothpick trick for a group of rapt middle school students.

Pat Sinclair, who oversees substitute teachers in the Pasco County School District, was on the phone. She told Piculas there had been a complaint about his performance at Rushe Middle School in Land O’ Lakes.

He asked what she meant. “She said, ‘You’ve been accused of wizardry,’” Piculas said.

I think if they revived the art of "dunking" they might get at the truth of the matter.

I'm completely in favor of terminating anyone accused of wizardry. What if he left his magic wand laying around and someone got hurt?

Good job government administrators. Way to keep us safe from the many perils that await our youngsters in the seventh century.
