A Florida teacher may have to pull an unemployment check out of his hat after performing magic in front of students, according to reports.
Jim Piculas said he made a toothpick disappear and reappear in front of students at the Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Fla., Local6.com reported. He said he later got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he had been accused of wizardry.
"I get a call the middle of the day from head of 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 told Local6.com.
Piculas said he’s concerned the incident may prevent him from being considered for future jobs.

Some religious folks equate it with witchcraft. But that not illegal either, but it is considered a religion,and thats a no no in public schools.

As I said, Rob, those same whack jobs that consider dancing a sin feel the same way about "Mystic Trickery". Not saying they are right, only that they feel that way, and can apply pressure on schools who fear lawsuits.

I think this whole story tells me that we need to know who we are putting in charge of schools and school boards.
