Kids vote 5 year old autistic student off the island/classroom with teacher's encouragement

I don't care how annoying the child may have been; that teacher needs to be "voted out" of their profession.

"emotional abuse" is barely the half of it. This is the kindergarten version of a lynch mob.

Not only is she traumatizing the child in question, but she's also teaching a horrible and hateful lesson to all the other students.

They haven't confirmed his diagnosis yet, but I feel the teacher must have been aware of the process, and had some idea he was being assessed? Even if she didn't, her reaction should have been to find some help for him, not do her best to scar him emotionally and teach all his peers that it's okay to do so.

I am sure that the kids were already being horrible to the kid outside the classroom. Its one thing to recognize the "Lord of the flies" reality of small humans, another thing entirely to give in to it and become one with the mob.

There once was a windmill in old Amsterdam. A windmill with a mouse in is hardly surprising. The mouse in the windmill sang "How lucky I am. Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam"

I saw a mouse.
Where?
There on the stair.
Where on the stair?
Right there, a little mouse with clogs on!
Well I declare!
Going clip clipity clop on the stairs.
