5 year old boy voted out of the classroom

The basics: Alex, a 5 year old boy “who is in the process of being diagnosed with autism,” specifically Asperger’s syndrome, was voted out of his kindergarten classroom by the other students. How did that happen? The teacher thought it would be a good idea to let the other kids tell Alex what they thought of him. “Disgusting” and ” annoying” was the verdict. The vote was 14-2 in favor of kicking him out of the class, so he left and spent the rest of the day in the nurse’s office.
Now, it’s one thing for a teacher to handle a “problem” child badly. Apparently Alex had some behavioral issues, and it sounds like they might have been tough to deal with. But allowing students to verbally berate another student, and then suggesting they vote on whether or not the kid should remain in the classroom? That’s about as screwed up as it gets. Regardless of whether or not the child has autism, bad acne or chronic halitosis, teachers can’t get involved in something so petty and cruel.
This happened in Port St. Lucie, Florida. (What is it about Florida and voting scandals?) Alex’s mom, Melissa Barton, is considering legal action, although “the state attorney’s office concluded the matter did not meet the criteria for emotional child abuse, so no criminal charges will be filed.” So, like, what would meet the criteria? Throwing baloney at him while they vote him off the island, “Survivor”-style? Oy vey.
