The land of sunshine, sharks and sermons we once again has the rest of the country scratching our heads and going “What the Fuck?” Along with their other recent decisions to encourage science teachers to teach alternate theories to evolution, denied them the right to teach anything but abstinence, and wants Christian themed license plates, they are now firing substitute teachers for Wizardry.

What sort of awful sorcery did the man bring down upon his temporary students? He made a toothpick disappear. He didn’t make his hand disappear up a girl’s skirt. He didn’t stare too long at boy’s ass in the shower. He didn’t down a bottle of pills or booze. He made a toothpick disappear using wizardry, something the Florida Christian community can’t seem to tolerate.

Once again a public institution that should be totally independent of religion has been corrupted by holy rollers. If this bothers you as much as it should then write, call, email here is the contact information for the school district in question.

I was linked to this morning through a completely unrelated topic this morning to a letter to the editor and just had to do a post of my own. To make a long story short the letter’s author blames people having babies who can’t support them for most of our economic woes. In part I agree, but he is very naïve. First he states:

“Even high-school dropouts can get married and be self-supporting as long as they do not have children to support. They can flip burgers at McDonalds and earn roughly $2,000 a month. Later, they can get other jobs, learn marketable job skills and move on to become financially secure adults.”

I am not sure what reality he is living in, but when it comes right down to it. That is a full time job getting 40 hours a week in fast food for the guy flipping burgers and the girl at the counter. That doesn’t happen. $2000 bring home for a couple is above minimum wage and at 40 hours a week, even in an above minimum wage state like Florida where the letter originated. Read the full story
