The Class Has Spoken
I can’t believe anyone allowed to teach young children is this stupid. TC Palm reports a Port St. Lucie teacher actually led her kindergarten class to vote a 5-year-old autistic boy out of the class, Survivor-style.
Before that incredibly humiliating moment, she placed Alex Barton in front of the class and asked his classmates to discuss the things they didn’t like about him. The next-to-worst part? The boy has Aspberger’s, a high-functioning form of autism.
The worst part? Teacher Wendy Portillo has attended meetings where the condition was discussed and is completely aware of it. She’s confirmed the incident did happen the way Alex describes it. This lady should never, ever be allowed near young children again. That’s deplorable behavior for any adult, let alone a teacher.
