‘Do You Seen Anybody Else At This Table Drooling?’: Two Teachers Caught Taunting Ten-Year-Old With Cerebral Palsy

Chalk this up as another strike against public education. Apparently two teachers in Alabama missed the part of employee sensitivity training that tells you not to mock your pupils…especially when those pupils are suffering from cerebral palsy.
Meet Jose Salinas, a 10-year-old disabled child who apparently had to suffer through repeated taunting and mockery from two of his teachers:
Reportedly, Salinas was repeatedly and viciously mocked for drooling, as well as for having difficulty speaking, by Alabama-area schoolteachers Drew Faircloth and Alicia Brown. The scandal was discovered when little Jose’s mother, Melisha Salinas, attached a recording device to Jose’s wheelchair, which caught some of the vicious remarks on tape for all to hear.
“You drooled on the paper, that’s disgusting,” Faircloth says in one recording. Brown, meanwhile, says “Keep your mouth closed and don’t drool on my paper. I do not want to touch your drool. Do you understand that? Obviously, you don’t.”
When Salinas tries to respond to the taunts in one exchange, Brown callously fires back, “That’s not an answer. That’s not even a word.”
Both Brown and Faircloth were initially placed on administrative leave, but allowed to return soon after the incident, prompting Melisha Salinas to leak the recorded tapes to the press. Now the full school board will decide what to do with the offending employees on April 9. You can listen to one of the exchanges below:

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 5:21pmI have found that people who are cowards and bullies usually find the weakest to be mean to. These teachers are just that……….cowards and bullies.
Fire them, revoke their liscenses. No school needs this kind of person near a child.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 5:32pmThis boy has his own battles with his affliction, and no educator should be permitted to make his day and his life any more difficult, Terminate the unprofessional idiots. And I agree revoke their teaching certification. it is a form of child abuse at the very least and that must not stand.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 5:45pmYou also see hate filled workers in Nursing Homes. Without cameras and sound you never really know how some of these people treat the poor old folks. There have been too many caught being mean to these old people and of course they take out their anger on those who can’t do anything about it.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 5:11pmReally? Racism used? Look, I don’t care if the teacher was SEIU PURPLE, if this is a tenured teacher (or not tenured for that matter), it shows why tenure protects the guilty, and keeps the good teachers quiet. Just another teacher, who will still get paid, and end up in a rubber room playing cards and watching porn!…ON OUR DIME!

Report Post »In the tape, I didn’t hear anyone saying anything about drooling on a paper.
What I heard, was an unprofessional acting, angry, short tempered man yelling at a child, telling him to go to the bathroom.
I heard some hitting or slapping. Hopefully, he was not laying his hands on that innocent child.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 5:01pmI couldn‘t’ understand a word on the tape, however if these teachers did indeed mock this little boy, who is disabled they need to be TERMINATED immediated! When a child has is disabled the LAST thing they need is an adult, who is supposed to protect, care and help this child, act this way. It is disgusting, more then disgusting to treat a child in this manner. They should be ASHAMED to be seen public. God bless this little boy and I hope his parents SUE.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 4:59pmThis is where the public school system really fails. The people they have working with the handicapped are usually either absolute monsters or totally incompetent. My little brother’s teacher was always in my room asking for help with him WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Later on he got a teacher who had a heart for these children and the work she’s done is nothing short of a miracle. That being said I hope they’re fired and unable to get a job doing ANYTHING.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 5:06pmI loved my teachers when I was young. From the news in the past couple of years, it seems like we have very immature teachers lacking in heart and soul. Perhaps their Progressive agenda is getting in the way of actually teaching. Progressives would like to rid the world of anyone deemed less than perfect. Eugenics will be next along with sex allowed with students. Thats the Marxist way.

Posted on March 31, 2012 at 3:55pmNHWINTER – I loved my teachers in elementary school, too. But that was over 40 years ago. I think teachers went into teaching for different reasons back then than they do now. Now I think it is more about union benefits, tenure, pensions, and long summer vacations. Kids? oh yeah, that too.
