OK, this one caught my attention this morning. Sadly not because of the issue (at first) but more because of the name "St. Lucie school district." If you remember to about a month or so ago, this is the school district responsible for the firing of Single Mother Tiffany Shepherd who was canned because she had a part time job as a bikini hostess.
To add flames to the fire, this schol district recently "re-assigned" NOT Fired a Teacher, Wendy Portillo, for holding a Classroom vote on the removal of one of her students. Yes, you read right, she hel a vote in which other kindegarten students told this five year old boy all the things they hated about him. This insult session was then followed with a vote in which the class decided they no longer wanted Alex Barton in their Classroom.
Now tell me, is this not Fucked up.

You may recognise the name from the now famous Tiffany Shepherd firing. This time another St. Lucie School district Kindegarten teacher is in trouble for staging a classroom vote for the removal of an Autistic Student. Strange, Tiffany gets fired, while Wendy Portillo gets "re-assigned"
Morningside Elementary kindergarten teacher Wendy Portillo has been reassigned until further action may be determined, according to St. Lucie County School district spokesman Janice Karst.
Karst said in a statement this morning Portillo had been reassigned out of the classroom at the district offices.
Last week, Portillo held a vote in her classroom in which kindergarten students "voted out" 5-year-old Alex Barton, who is in the process of being tested for Asperger's Disorder, a type of high-functioning autism. Alex's mother, Melissa Barton, said the vote was taken after classmates were allowed to tell Alex what they didn't like about him .
