We’re taught diversity is beautiful and welcomed, but when someone actually tries to be a little bit different, things get complicated.

Jim Piculas, a substitute teacher from Florida, tried to make his lesson more interesting and got fired. One might think that he crossed the line big-time if the School District had to make such a drastic decision. Well, here’s the reason: a toothpick trick.

Piculas made a toothpick disappear then reappear, in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land O'Lakes.

The world is still in shock. A toothpick? This is just too much.

According to the school, he was also not following lesson plans and was allowing the students to play with some computers that had not been approved yet. Originality? How dared he?

Of course it’s okay for David Blaine to levitate or to do magic with playing-cards. People endorse that, people want that, people watch it on television. But when a simple substitute teacher has a little more creativity he gets kicked out.

“I get a call in the middle of the day from head of 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.’ I said, ‘Well Pat, can you explain this to me?’ ‘You've been accused of wizardry.’ Wizardry?” Piculas said, according to First Coast News.

He tried to defend himself by explaining the trick and he is concerned that the incident may prevent him from being considered for future jobs.
