Democracy at it's Finest Worst



So I don't know if this school teacher was trying to teach her students a little on Democracy, the ability for us to vote for changes we want, or if she just was a complete ass hole. I say the later. Anyways heres the story of Alex Barton, a 5 year old that was voted out of his classroom by his peers:

‘[The teacher] took him and stood him in front of his classmates this week, asked every single child to tell Alex why [they] don’t like him… (in his words) “tell Alex why we hate him”,’ explained Ms. Barton. After having each child ridicule the boy, she says the teacher continue belittling him.

Ms. Barton went on to say, ‘Then they had a vote on if he deserved to stay in the class or not.’ Like a twisted reality show, Barton says in a 14-2 vote his classmates voted the five year old out of the classroom.”

I don't even think the kids in Lord of the Flies were this young to deserve some ish like this. Regardless I vote that the teacher is fired and forced to be in a video with the Pied Piper and M.J. .

Like an American good Democracy only my vote counts regardless of what you may think; hey in my opinion those who don't agree with me are just Florida anyways.

-End

That's such a disgrace. We really do need quality grade school teachers because it's often overlooked. I hope the poor little boy doesn't become negative towards the world later on just because he had a stupid, commonsense-less teacher.
