what fundie child complained to his/her parents? A 30-second trick of the hand? Seriously?

Jim, come to Pinellas, my kids LOVE magic tricks, they also read Harry Potter!(GASP!!!). Better yet, move to a more progressive, take no crap from fundies, state. Sounds like the kids needed a little distraction, better than taping their mouths shut!

This is crazy. Even if he is an "at will" employee, I would hope the teachers' union would come to his aid somehow. Even if just having an "official" statement on this bs.

Oh maybe he could summon that tacky wizard from the T-mobile ads! He knows the Elves, they are always chatting him up. They could invade pasco and take the backwater principal back to fantasy land.:)

Everybody google Heidi Sweet; she followed the example of the FCAT test administrator, and had her license REVOKED, while the other teacher did not. We need to sacrifice the Florida Educational Practices Commitee on the Alter of Political Stability. These people aren't Teachers anymore, they're Educators and have lost their way...

He should count himself VERY fortunate that he only lost his job, what with such a serious charge leveled against him. They could have stoned him, or worse yet, burned him at the stake.
All of you witches and warlocks out there, beware - the school board is on to you - time to move out of Florida.

I'm sure that Hogwarts would be interested in Jims' qualifications to teach.
