Another reason why we homeschool

This is just crazy. The teacher’s initial actions are horrific—having the rest of a kindergarten class say what they disliked about a boy (who has Asperger’s) and then have kids “vote him out of class” a la Survivor. The fact the school board is letting her continue teaching and maintain her tenured status is beyond belief. Guess they are desperate for elementary teachers in Florida.

Wow! That is unbelievable. If that student had been "voted" out of class for other reasons (non-white, wheelchair-bound, female, ...), the teacher would not have her job back. Why is discrimination based on lack of social skills considered acceptable? I would doubt that this is an isolated incident and do not want to imagine the emotional scars that she has caused and will continue to cause.
