Stephen Miller's 3rd-grade Teacher Suspended for Op-Ed Claiming He Was 'Strange,' Ate Glue
The Washington Times ^ | October 12, 2018 | Jessica Chasmer

A California teacher who taught White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller when he was a third-grader has been suspended after she published an op-ed claiming he was a “loner” who ate glue in her class.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District placed Nikki Fiske on “home assignment” pending an internal investigation following her piece in The Hollywood Reporter magazine describing the 8-year-old Miller as a “strange dude.”

“Do you remember that character in Peanuts, the one called Pig Pen, with the dust cloud and crumbs flying all around him?” Ms. Fiske wrote Wednesday. “That was Stephen Miller at 8. I was always trying to get him to clean up his desk — he always had stuff mashed up in there. He was a strange dude. I remember he would take a bottle of glue — we didn’t have glue sticks in those days — and he would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it.

“I remember being concerned about him — not academically,” she continued. “He was OK with that, though I could never read his handwriting. But he had such strange personal habits. He was a loner and isolated and off by himself all the time.”

School district spokeswoman Gail Pinsker said the main concern is the release of private student information, The Los Angeles Times reported...

I was joking that the democrats would go back to the womb to check the DNA of Republican before the Senate. We’ re getting close.

Remember, girls don’t lie. So, even though she gave up personal info it was all absolutely “true”.

There. Got it?

Suspension is not good enough. It needs to be firing, loss of pension, and jail.

I’m not a fan of a lot of teachers. People always praise them.

I heard he was hard to potty train, too.

This was real? I saw the headlines of the original stories and just thought there were satires of Kavanaugh.

This woman shouldn't be allowed to teach anywhere, anymore, period. Such a terrible display of poor judgment should be an automatic outenzie from the teaching profession.

Heaven effing forbid that a third grader acted like a ... third grader.

If it’s ever discovered that he ran with scissors I’ll want to see him fired.

Miller’s response now that he works in a presidential administration: “How do you like me now, biotch?”

It’s a well known rule that males hold their penis with the left hand when urinating. She’ll probably claim Miller insisted on using his right hand.

Back in college we had a member of my Fraternity who was a big drinker and always into mischief.

Fizzies dumped into the pool before the big swim meet - it was him (and a few others of us).

He ended up kidnaping a woman, marrying her and becoming a Senator...eating glue is NOTHING!

Alas, Senator John Blutarsky is no longer with us but I do have my fond memories.

“How many 3rd graders ate glue?”

I remember eating white paste. Never tried the glue. Sounds interesting, could be related to a mineral deficiency, they could go after his mother for improper nourishing. Attack the whole family, ya know.

Depends on the brand. I tried it but preferred paste.

Play-Doh was a delicacy in kindergarten.

Remember it’s all part of your “Permanent Record”, the one none of us ever saw that the school claimed they had on you.

So this teacher many years later writes a hit piece on one of her students because she disagrees with him politically, this wrong on so many levels.

I didn't think it was a unique endeavor.
