Remember 5-year-old Alex Barton, the boy whose kindergarten teacher led the class in a vote on whether to allow him to remain in class because she was apparently fed up with his Asperger syndrome behaviors?
His mother's attorney has put the boy's school district on notice that he'll be filing a civil lawsuit charging that Alex was discriminated against and that his civil rights were violated.
It's a very sad situation when a parent has to sue to get school personnel to treat a child with patience and compassion.

I can sympathize with both the parent and the teacher. The teacher responded to a situation that would make almost anyone apoplectic in a terrible way.
