Everyone MUST read this and the whole thing. mattcbr.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/tampa-no-wizards-allowed/Now you understand what I am talking about when I say my school system sucks. that's right I am in Pasco county. -_- Not proud of it in the least but this is totally something they would do and now they have. They have completely screwed this guy over too. He can't get a job ANYWHERE! No one will hire him with a black mark saying that he was fired from being a substitute. >.< This is just.... wow. I am glad I am moving. Not to mention that withing the last few months at least 4 teachers have been arrested for raping/having a sexual relationship with a student. *shudders*

...That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Really, WHAT?! A toothpick? The person who fired him should be stabbed in the eye with one.

It's the entire friggin county! They are all a bunch of loonies.
This all happened becasue one of the kids in the class was freaked out apparently and told his parents who called the board who said "Oh my god! We have a wizard teaching at out schools!" They even made up crap about not following lesson plans when it was on record that he always did.

Indeed. But he's a wizard and he is teaching the children(!) These are also the same people who still protest Harry Potter.

My family is partially wiccan. I mean we don't cast spells and stuff but we use stones and stuff. Mother wants to get into a group when we move up north where it is more accepted and stuff. I unno. It's always been more her thing. XP

I saw this a few days ago. Come on, slight of hand is NOT wizardry. Not even close. Don't these people watch TV? See magicians? I think everyone else in the country is going,"What a bunch of loons!" Like one guy on another board said, if he was really a wizard, do you think he'd be a substitute teacher?
With the ability to trick people into believing he's doing actual magic, he should look into becoming a magician.

what ze hell I'm more of a witch than that (managed to convince a teacher completely; by studying Da Vinci, geometry and gnostics) I can defend the actions of Lucifer and condemn Adam. I'm more a Lilith/femenist and Even I don't get in trouble for it (barring that one teacher) I study religions and i am not Wiccan or Christian but i respect both yes i understand that my last comment is based on the christian view of wicca... not actual wicca i think what i just described was the dark side of christianity not wicca anyone who thinks im lieing should check out tis site and read through the links (along with whatever idiot fired that guy) www.religioustolerance.org/witchcra.htmfloridians (no offence to those who are intelligent) should wake up, look at the calendar and go see a show by whats'isface with the tigers. Sleight of hand is NOT MAGIC (nothing wrong with magik *sulks* just the power of imagination) even if he was wiccan there is nothing wrong with a religion of nature worship that encourages non-violence wiccans cant do actual magic just seight of hand so i don't know why i just said all that one more thing Is Merlin evil then i mean I remember learning the Arthur muthos IN SCHOOL and there was nothing wrong with Merlin, the old teacher who taught young Arthur how to see from other points of view, never abused his power YET did much more than make a toothpick dissapear I agree people need to take that toothpick and poke the idiot who fired the guy till they find a place that doesn't hurt (basic witch testing method of dark ages) then accuse him of being a witch... sorry for the epic rant sorry if i offended anyone my gosh I'm terrified of accidentally misunderstanding someone's religion

Things like this are why I want to emigrate. -head desk- I hate hearing about how nutcases are in charge, and how a few closeminded, objectional parents ruin things for everybody. It's not cool, people. Not. Cool.
On a slightly related note: neither are you, Texas. Bleaching textbooks is NOT cool! You shouldn't steralize history, and you shouldn't downplay the contributions of... well, you shouldn't make it sound like rich white prodistant males are the only ones doing good things for the country. Eric Foner should be used for history texts, he gives the most well-rounded history of the USA I've ever seen.

For the record, my old music teacher was Wiccan and the entire school was aware, so... yeah. And while I'm at it, I'd like to point out something utterly pointless(Yeah, that sentence made a lot of sense). The author mentioned "Surtur" who is actually a character from Marvel Comics and is not the correct spelling of the character Surtr(Which, according to my knowledge is pronounced "Surt") of Norse Mythology, on whom Surtur was based. So... Surtur isn't actually a true religious figure. Yeah... I'm a fan of norse mythology. *Le gasp* maybe I'm a wizard too! It's just as logical.
