Special Needs Kid Voted Out Of Class By Fellow Kindergartners
CBS: Melissa Barton says Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had her son’s classmates say what they didn’t like about 5-year-old Alex. She says the teacher then had the students vote, and voted Alex, who is being evaluated for Asperger’s syndrome — an autism spectrum disorder — out of the class by a 14-2 margin.

I don’t know where Alex’s father is, but, if he was me, he’d be in jail this afternoon for going completely apeshit postal.
Ain’t life grand.

I am in the middle of this right now with one of my kids, went through it two years ago with my oldest. Teachers unions have made these asswipes feel invincible and immune to any consequences.

May 29th, 2008 at 6:54 amUh….
The teacher placed this kid in the hands of his midget-brained peers?
Just when I think stupidity has hit rock bottom, someone whips out a shovel and digs 10 feet deeper.
