Special Needs Child Voted OUT of Class

This one has me livid. . .

Kindergarten is supposed to be a special time in a child's life. The bright fresh faces, the 'big' kid clothes, learning the foundation for your education and the years ahead.

But for 5 year old Alex Barton, he learned about the cruelty of others. You see, he is special needs. He is being evaluated for Asperger's Syndrome.

The teacher decided to have him voted out of the class, survivor style.

Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillio was way out of line on this one. Disciplinary action won't change what has been done.
