Kids are cruel, and this teacher is pathetic.

A buncha 6 year olds are not competent to be making this kind of decision. The teacher clearly and intentionally forfeited their authority, and if I had to guess, in a candy ass way to avoid responsibility and being the "bad guy." Even if the kid is a discipline problem, this is so not the way to deal with it.

Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Tyranny of the Majority:

"Melissa Barton said she is considering legal action after her son's kindergarten teacher led his classmates to vote him out of class.

After each classmate was allowed to say what they didn't like about Barton's 5-year-old son, Alex, his Morningside Elementary teacher said they were going to take a vote, Barton said. By a 14 to 2 margin, the class voted him out of the class.

Apparently, the poor kid has Aspergers, a less severe form of autism, and his classmates found him 'disgusting.'

Alex's response to the vote:

'I feel sad.'"

For further thought, think about how this is a knock on democracy. Mob rule uber alles.
