Whip the ‘high functioning kid’ until he eats his fruits and veggies.

Then whip the school administrators until they each eat a loaf of banana bread.

There are a few cases of real autism, then a bunch of kids that just need some significant discipline. And a lot of idiot school administrators.

All of the children in this school are being abused by a totalitarian diktat which has nothing to do with her son's disability. ALL of the children in this school should be freed from it, not just those who imagine that their perceived victimhood entitles them to special status.

The boy has deviated from proper Party Doctrine. Be aware that his future punishments will be more severe until he thinks more correctly.

Banana bread countds as a fruit in my house.

Years ago it was the kids how did the teasing and shaming, now it’s the teachers and administrators.

It’s only going to get worse under Baby Doc Trudeau. After almost eight years of seeing what Obozo did to America, you’d think Canadians would have been a little wiser in the voting booth.

If Canadian laws are crafted the way I suspect they are (that is,left wing) this kid's mother could sue for millions due to her *disabled* son was singled out...humiliated...had his human rights systematically and wantonly violated.

Autism *is* a legitimate disability...a serious,life long brain disorder.

Can anybody tell me why Banana bread is considered an unhealthy food? It’s often made with a whole wheat base with bananas and nuts added. Banana sweeten the bread, not sugars....so what gives?

This enrages me——and the fact that the child is autistic does not matter.

PARENTS CAN FEED THEIR KIDS ANYTHING THEY DAMNED WELL PLEASE.

Perfect! LOL! :)

Seriously, though, this was wrong. I don’t know what it is like to have autism, but I imagine that any negative self-image feelings were exacerbated by this incident.

It could even be that he doesn’t really understand why he was separated from the others.

It’s tantamount to a form of child abuse on the part of the administrators, particularly since they know he has a disability.

she feels it’s hurting his development

Perhaps

and contributing to his growing antipathy toward school that’s manifested in recent months.

Well, there's a shock. It would seem that the 'antipathy' is richly deserved.

“I send food with him that I know he will eat,” she said.
“I don’t want people telling me what to feed my child.”

School Administrators: ‘Your child?’ What do you mean ‘your child?’ When he’s here he’s our child and we decide what he eats and doesn’t eat.

Banana bread is perfectly disgusting.

IMO.

But that doesn't matter.

The school administrators have forgotten that they are public servants, not public masters. If Mom wants to feed her poor kid banana bread, and the misguided kid actually likes it ... that's their business. Not mine. Not the school administrators'.

Timothy 4

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

It is about to come true.
