Well this just came my way, a substitute teacher was fired for... wait for it..... you won't believe it.... WIZARDRY! That's right, allegedly one Jim Piculas employed the Dark Arts to make a toothpick disappear. Well they ain't gonna have none of that in the great state of Florida! Maybe at your fancy elite British schools like Hogwarts, but not in good ol' Florida.
Thankfully for Mr. Piculas, they no longer burn witches or wizards in Florida (only Evolution teachers). Still, the guy is seriously concerned about getting a job anywhere else. As a substitute teacher, the Pasco County School District considers Piculas to be an "at will employee." That means the district doesn't need to have cause for not bringing him back at all, but hell, wizardry certainly is plenty cause not to bring him back for Floridians.
Of course I can't help laugh at the hypocrisy because it could be argued that Florida is itself guilty of wizardry, since it seems it can make all appearances of intelligence disappear as if my magic.
Way to stay classy, Florida!

I guess Florida is competing with Louisiana and Texas for the highly coveted Most Religiously Deluded award.
I don't know, Philly. If you weren't from the wacky woo state of PA, I might give this a little more legitimacy.
So, with Chappy bringing LA and TX into the picture, should we look at this question carefully and try to figure out what the most irrational State in the union is? I'd like to toss KS in there (although they seem to have improved lately. We should still consider them).
I don't see why Florida is so terrible. Those wizards can really wreak havoc in a classroom.
First they're making toothpicks disappear and reappear. The next thing you know, they're drinking your kids' blood and making them pray to Satan.
I escaped the woo state, and now I'm in the little state and I think it's too small for me. It makes me look fat.
I would have loved a wizard teacher. My teachers mostly sucked. I also never had any hot 20 something teachers either who were looking to score with jailbait dudes. Kids today have it made.
Oh Evo, you can't forget CA either. We're all wacky!
I had a hot, 20-something science teacher in middle school. We didn't learn much of anything and that because all of us girls were distracted with mooning over him.
Of course when my best friend said she saw him kissing one of the high school girls out in the parking lot I didn't believe her. But now I have to wonder.
Its almost worth getting fired, if the reason is because you're a wizard. I would pay to see his next job interview..
"Sir, can you explain why you left your previous employer?"
"Well, I objected to their anti-wizard bigotry. Now watch this toothpick!"
Yeah, I'd hire him.
Would he have been fired if he had turned water into wine? Or fed the whole school with one can of tuna and a loaf of WonderBread? Or if he had laid hands on a student and healed said student of a horrible ailment (okay, strike that last one, laying hands on a student SHOULD raise eyebrows)?
