"Schiller got into trouble after two of his students turned in science projects designed to shoot little projectiles, reports the Los Angeles Times.One of the projects used compressed air (but was not actually connected to any air).
The other one was coil gun: a tube surrounded by a coil and powered by a standard AA battery.
An unidentified school employee saw the air-pressure projectile device and got scared because, to her, it looked like a fearsome weapon.
The amount of knowledge the employee has concerning science – if any – is unclear.
As a result of the unnamed employee’s fears, Schiller – who actually never got to see either the air-pressure project or the coil project except in photos – was dismissed from the classroom indefinitely."
