The tribe has spoken

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/05/27/dnt.fl.voted.out.class.wptv

What is the world coming to? A 5-year old child with special needs is voted out of class - the teacher apparently lined up the classmates and had each child berate him...telling him why he shouldn't be allowed back to class, the child's words recounting the incident: "Tell Alex why we hate him". Obviously, there is an on-going investigation with the school board and (hopefully) disciplinary action to follow on the teacher. Makes me wonder if the teacher has an unhealthy obsession with Survivor? If you watch through the whole video, pay attention to the shots of the kid...he's in the backyard, you'll see there's one of those 'torch' lights in the background..."Alex, the tribe has spoken"... coincidence, or creative journalism, hmmm?
