Magic trick costs teacher job

Thats crazy....he was using it to get the kids attention....Its not like he took up the whole class time or sacrificed a lamb in class.

Please!!!

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.

Give us a break. He only did a magic trick. He did nothing wrong. Magic trick or sex with a student. I take the magic trick

Madness! Wizardry?! That's ridiculous! That's so crazy that I'm speechless...

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.:)

Get ready for the Pasco witch trials.

WHAT???? are we in the 16th century? WTF is the matter with this school admin, are they insane, no wonder kids can't learn with a narrow minded admin like this. holy S*** I find this unbleaveable.

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...

Perhaps we need to move our Travelling Show from Lakeland to Pasco. That'll show 'em Wizardry.

Call Heather Fiorentino (813) Seven Nine Four-2000 if you wana complain about this stupid reason for firing him.

Stupid idiot school officals. They need to loose their jobs...today!!!!! Wizardry!!!!??? What the ****!!! I am embarassed to heck to know I live in this state!!! I need to move to another state!!!!

Flori-DUH strikes again. What a bunch of buffoons!!

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.

What a bunch of morons everyone knows "Wizards" only help Chad from that Cell phone commercial; it's the witches who make inanimate objects disappear. I think most of them have relocated to Lutz, FL. STUPID!!

Shares the initials of John Proctor...

mwhaley@pasco.k12.fl.us --- email address for school board member responsible for this school and all of it's wizardry -- have a sack and fire someone for the real reason, not some trupted up garbage.

No wonder Fark has a Florida tag...

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

A witch!!!!! Burn it!!!!!!

Do as the INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD demands!!!!!

Burn the witch!!!!!!

(oh, no such ting as a witch?)

Crucify the one who refuses to obey authority!!!

All hale authrority.

We ar nothing without authority!!!!

Obey!!!!!

Obey obey obey!!!!

Do not think.

JUST OBEY!!!!

Its hard enough for a subsitute to enter a classroom where they know the kids might not listen, and if using magic worked then good for him!!!!
