A woman who claims her 5-year-old was kicked out of his kindergarten class after the teacher held a “‘Survivor’-style vote” among fellow students about his disruptive behavior on Thursday sued the teacher, school officials and others.
Melissa Barton said that on May 21, 2008, her son Alex was “forced to stand in front of his peers and be told why ‘they hated him,’ with such comments as (Alex) is ‘disgusting’ and ‘annoying,’ ‘He eats crayons,’ ‘Lies on the floor,’ ‘He eats paper’ and ‘He eats his boogers.’”
