I just want to verify that you are clicking on Inspector and then setting Bullets none.
You could also just delete the content box and then add a text box.

1) I used a 450-character paragraph as my test text. When I click Inspector > Bullets > None, the text loses the bullet — but its font size turns tiny: the 450 characters that used to fill the screen are now two long lines of tiny text. (The font size remains set to "Resize text to fit element".)
Edit: When I tried to reproduce the problem to include updated screenshots, Murphy's Law of demos interfered and the font size remained unchanged. (Have you heard of situations where Autosized text turns into a couple of tiny lines?)
2) Deleting the content box and manually adding a text box is a poor workaround for several reasons:

What's the best way to create a simple schedule item containing one or more simple, plain-Jane text slides?
