A Florida kindergarten teacher was suspended for polling her students on whether an autistic boy should remain in her class. Five year old Alex Barton lost the vote 14 to 2. Barton, a former student at Morningside Elementary School in Port St. Lucie, Fla., had received two discipline referrals to the principal's office in May 21. The school was aware that Alex was in the process of being tested for Asperger's Syndrome. The St. Lucie County School Board voted unanimously to suspend the teacher, Wendy Portillo, for one year without pay. Portillo, the teacher, took Alex to the front of the class and asked students to tell the boy what they didn't like about his behavior and how it impacted them.
