This could only happen in Florida. Or maybe Kansas.

The stories in the news about inappropriate relationships between teachers and students have been overwhelming. There was even a substitute teacher in New Port Richey who got in trouble after investigators say she had a relationship with an underage student.

Well, another Pasco County substitute teacher's job is on the line, but this time it's because of a magic trick.

The charge from the school district — Wizardry!

Substitute teacher Jim Piculas does a 30-second magic trick where a toothpick disappears then reappears.

But after performing it in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Piculas said his job did a disappearing act of its own.

"I get a call the middle of the day from the 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 said.

When Piculas went in, he learned his little magic trick cast a spell that went much farther than he'd hoped.

"I said, 'Well Pat, can you explain this to me?' 'You've been accused of wizardry,' [he said]. Wizardry?" he asked.

You have got to be kidding!

I saw this on Countdown today and just had to look it up for myself to see if it was true. And it is!

I will bet a hundred dollars that everyone at this school, and probably in the whole county, attend a fundamentalist Baptist church whose sermons are peppered with anti-evolution rhetoric and constant reminders that Democrats want to abort your babies and put condoms on your pre-schoolers.

What a bunch of Neanderthal morons. And these are the educators! I weep for the children.
