I have to agree with you.In the OP it said "according to a Police Report".
Why were the Police called? That's just insane!!!!
Lawsuit!?!?
People are just too nuts over this story. The teacher was just trying to help the boy and the class. Maybe it wasn't the best course of action. But at least she was trying!! No wonder there is a teacher shortage. All of this PC insanity keeps many people from wanting to teach as a career.

help the boy how? he's got a medical disorder. he doesn't necessarily understand how to control his behavior. If she expects to teach perfect, well behaved children she should get out of teaching.
and there is a teacher shortage because they get paid shit for what their responsibilities are. But there are plenty of fantastic teachers who would NEVER publically humiliate a child and on top of that get other children to participate.
it's not about being PC....it's about being a decent human being.
I am in NO WAY excusing this teacher, but honestly...what was the kid doing in that class to begin with?

I guess you're absolutely sure that was her intention. I suppose I read the same OP as you and - unless you've done further reading - arrived at a slightly less finite conclusion.
(By the way, please note use of slightly).

Who cares what her "intention" was? We all know which road is paved with good intentions. Any adult who wasn't utterly, flatlined brain-dead should have been able to figure out the RESULT of such an asinine action, and it's the RESULT that counts.
I care what her intention was. If her intention was to humiliate the child there's a big difference to if she intended simply to let him see the impact he was having on others. I was drawing a minor distinction between the 2. One is arguably misguided, the other is clearly cruelty and should be punished by courts, not a school board.
Intent is a legal distinction, irrespective of what "we all know" or which roads lead where.
Amazingly enough, there ISN'T a big difference whether she intended to emotionally scar the kid or not. The point is, she DID emotionally scar him. And oh, hey, while we're at it, she emotionally scarred a child who already has enormous obstacles in regards to forming relationships with other human beings PRECISELY in the area of forming relationships with other human beings.
We're not talking about legally-actionable criminal behavior, and I can guarantee you that if and when this child's parents sue this idiot, the court is not going to care whether she took this damned-fool action because she's sadistic or because she's just an imbecile. They're going to care that any adult with the brain wattage of a flickering candle should have and would have known better.
That's the bottom line here: this chick is dumber than the kids she allegedly teaches, not to mention is apparently in possession of fewer social skills than they are, so she has no business in a classroom. I wouldn't hire this dimwit to teach my dog not to widdle on the rug, let alone trust her with my child.
Well, you're obviously very caught up in this so I won't waste my time and yours explaining why I disagree with some of your conclusions. Suffice to say I can't be quite as damning as you based solely on that brief article.
