Yes; well, 'warlockery'. Being Wiccan, you see, means that I only wish I was in America right now, in that man's position and suing the District for restricting my religious beliefs.

Just when I think the human race has a hope some ridiculously juvenile thing like this happens.  We're doomed... Finished!... Game Over Man!

Might as well have read like this:
PAT: "Jim, we have a problem... you need to come in right away!"

JIM: "Oh no, I'm on my way!"

{20 minutes later}

JIM (Enters panting): "Pat!,  What is all the commotion?"

PAT: "Jim, you can't work anymore... you've been accused of breathing."

JIM: {Gasps then covers mouth}

PAT:  "Yes, yes... I was shocked too.  This is bad buddy... those breathing wackos are gonna go all the way on this one.  We're sorry but you're fired".

JIM: "oh noes!"

Vatican scientists have announced that the devil is not the greatest threat to salvation due to the recent discovery of the Super Devil. The Super Devil is at least six inches taller than the Devil, rides a flying motorcycle, and carries a jar of marmalade which is believed to cause adultery.

Tampa Bay's 10 talked to the assistant superintendent with the Pasco County School District who said it wasn't just the wizardry and that Picular had other performance issues, including "not following lesson plans" and allowing students to play on unapproved computers.

Piculas said he knew nothing about the accusations.

"That... I think was embellished after the fact to try to cover what initially what they were saying to me," he said.

After the magic trick, Rushe's principal requested Piculas be dismissed.  Now, Piculas believes the incident may have bewitched his ability to get a job anywhere else.

"I still have no idea what my discipline involves because I've never received anything from the school district actually saying what it entails," said Piculas.

As a substitute teacher, the Pasco County School District considers Piculas to be an "at will employee." That means the district doesn't need to have cause for not bringing him back at all.
It sounds to me like the school district just used "Wizardry" as an excuse to fire a bad substitute.  It's probably some really obscure rule they have left from the 1700's or something.  This story seems more like the result of the media sensationalizing an otherwise odd story.  I'd like to read more about it before I conclude that this really is just a couple of ignorant officials.

The "at will" part is why what you said doesn't add up.  At will employers don't even have to give a reason for firing employees, so there's no reason why they had to pull the wizardry card unless they truly are that fanatical.

I'd assume the officials really are that nutty.

I think it is more likely that it be the other way around. They added the other stuff in an attempt to justify the firing. But they don't have justify anything to at will workers. So why are tehy feeling guilty?

As Turquoise says relating to the "at will" part, they don't really have to give much of a reason, indeed, "non-performance" could be a valid reason whatever their real motivations. Why they would ACTUALLY use wizardry for an excuse is...bizarre to say the least.

Given that Harry Potter books have been banned and burned in some parts of the country for supposedly promoting sorcery and witchcraft I'm inclined to agree that some puritans got their BVDs in a bunch over *gasp* magic!

Considering how I live in one of the more urban areas of NC and I still know people that don't participate in Halloween because they think it's evil, yeah, I think it's actually true as well.

People and their idiotic superstitions.
