When I first read the title, I thought: “Oh boy… another pagan/atheist teacher was fired by some idiotic Christian School principal”

But surprise, surprise.
This wizard, wasn’t teaching pagan teachings, wiccan potions or Harry Potter stories.
He simply did a 30 second magic trick where a tooth pick disappeared.

This is just another example of our fine education system.

I do have friends in Florida, but for the most part, I really wish we would just sell Florida to Cuba and cash out.
All the old people and rednecks there shouldn’t be allowed to vote or even talk.

Another victory for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Members of the Polk County School Board recently tried to introduce Intelligent Design as part of the curriculum. Members of the board opposed evolution as part of the new standards that are being adopted in Florida. They argued that if Evolution were to be taught as a standard, so should Intelligent Design.

Victory aside, how fucked up is that more than 50% of that School Board opposed Evolution as part of the program? This why the education system here is so poor. It’s because we put those fuck heads in charge of our schools.

It’s fact.
The public education system here in the US sucks.

Sure there are areas where schools are actually good, and you can expect house prices in those areas to be quite expensive.

With several public schools caring more about stats than actually education, it’s no wonder this mom wants to home school her kid and his friends.

And that’s not including several school districts trying to teach Intelligent Design as part of the curriculum.

It’s not like we have a lot of options. Houses in good school districts are expensive.
Private schools are another joke. To send your kid to the good ones, you’ll better have more than one kid, because you’ll need to sell one of them to send the other ones to a good private school. The other ones just suck. They don’t even have licensed teachers. Since they’re private, they can do whatever they want, including hiring the owner’s 3 nephews to teach there.

My kids are still quite young and I still have a few years before I worry about this.

But I’m sure I won’t be able to buy a house in a good school district, so I’ll have to try to tutor them on the weekends as best as I can.
