Who needs educators like this? I'll bet if the kid help up his pencil, the teacher wouldn't deem THAT a weapon. But a FLAG, sure is. That teacher is fascist at heart.in the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-41793607846786619872011-09-20T14:24:18.614-05:002011-09-20T14:24:18.614-05:00MightyMom, it'd be a best seller.MightyMom, it'd be a best seller.Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-83925741993297964822011-09-20T09:16:49.417-05:002011-09-20T09:16:49.417-05:00I do believe that bumper sticker would be a best s...I do believe that bumper sticker would be a best seller!!

His father, my brother-in-law, may never have been diagnosed, but shows many of the signs of Asperger's; nevertheless, he's been mainstreamed for a long time, and is one helluva guy. And Colin is a sweet kid, not dangerous at all.<br /><br />I don't know which is worse here, the lack of knowledge about autism or the lack of common sense displayed by the teacher and school.
