Teacher suspended for letting class vote out autistic boy

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Florida kindergarten teacher was suspended for polling her students on whether an autistic boy should remain in class.

Alex Barton, 5, lost the vote 14 to 2.

Barton, a former student at Morningside Elementary School in Port St. Lucie, Fla., had received two discipline referrals to the principal's office May 21, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. The school was aware that Barton was in the process of being tested for Asperger's Syndrome.

This week, the St. Lucie County School Board voted unanimously to suspend his tenured teacher, Wendy Portillo, for one year without pay. Superintendent of Schools Michael Lannon recommended discipline after Portillo took Barton to the front of the class and asked students to tell the boy what they didn't like about his behavior and how it impacted them.

Barton said the teacher allowed his classmates to call him "disgusting" and "annoying."

Black women now outstrip whites on pay

The average earnings of black women in Britain are now higher than their white counterparts, according to government statistics.

In a landmark social development that suggests the erosion of a long-standing racial barrier, the figures show “black Caribbean” women earned on average £462 a week – 6% more than white women – in the three months to October this year.

It seems that male feminists and their objects of care are sinking to the bottom of society.

Now, there is someone else for the White privileged princesses to bitch about, granted race is taboo in the reverse discrimination sense, more than gender? maybe

Not Good Enough

Being an uncle of an autistic niece, I find this to be truly disgusting. I think a poor excuse of a teacher such as that deserves to be fired! I'm glad some disciplinary action was taken, though.

Princesses

This (as well as a great many other facts) clearly proves that they are "princesses" only in words.
