It’s about as funny as you yelling at the paraplegic about how he’s slowing down traffic with his wheelchair in the hallway. Or the Muslim jackoff trying to get a seeing eye dog and his owner thrown out of school because he doesn’t like it. All 3 that I mentioned are suffering neurological deficiencies.

Why doesn’t wheelchair kid act more humble? And seeing eye dog man, why doesn’t he just take his mut and stay out of the public’s sight, lest he should offend anyone. In fact, why don’t we line him up in front of all the Somalis in Minnesota schools and let people tell him how much they hate him and his dog.

I’m being very mean-spirited right now, but I’ve actually dealt with Asberger’s kids as patients. Have you? Have you spent more than 5 minutes with one? They can’t help it. It’s something they’re born with and will die with—something they can make minimal progress with through behavioral therapy over time but will struggle with for a lifetime. The parents are trying to get him into a special needs class, which is where he belongs. It’s not like they let this lag on for years. This is the kid’s first year in school, afterall.

I’m all for discipline in schools. Ruling with a hard hand. Spanking. All that. But you can’t do that to a kid with Asberger’s. It will ultimately only be counterproductive.

And I don’t care who you are: it’s not the place of the students to kick a child out of class. That duty and that decision belongs solely to the teacher and the administrators, especially when we’re talking about 5-year olds.

Then why is he in the classroom in the first place? That's the crux of the problem. You, and others like you, advocate putting these children in regular classrooms where they are open to this while at the same time stultifying the learning process for everyone else.

The selfishness of parents who demand their disruptive children be forced on other children abounds.

It's all about MY child!

It's all about MY child!

It's all about MY child!

And to heck with everyone else's.

So you have a problem that these children are put into a regular classroom and problems occur. You think it perfectly acceptable then, because of that issue, the teacher's frustrations should be taken out directly on those children to prove that point? Do you also kick crutches and walkers out from under people.

Go back, read my post, and apologize. I specifically said that the parents were attempting to get him into a special needs classroom, which is where he belonged.

You’re being hysterical and not even paying attention to what the other side is saying. Who is advocating putting these children in a regular classroom? Who? Name one.
