Pennsylvania student wearing Broncos jersey forced to take test on floor

after re-reading, i see it now. but, i do ponder the question, "how does one teach ethnicity?" does that mean I can learn to be Greek now, like I've always wanted?

i'm in the educational sector and i can tell you that this was a pathetic attempt at a joke. you've gotta remember that this "joke" was played during a test. most people dread taking tests in the first place, while others are just plain bad test takers. If this kid had a problem with tests in the first place, or he had a learning disorder, humiliating him only makes it worse. Even a normal person shouldn't have to take a test that way.

High school kids have enough on their plate when trying to learn and process information- they don't need an instructor humiliating him/her in front of classmates. Especially when the teacher is a big influence of students.

what the hell is ethnicity class...

They should fire that teacher.

Then that kid should grow some balls and stand up for himself. I would have said something. At least to my classmates. Something to the effect of "let me get hit with some paper and see what happens to you"

it's probaby a class exposing people to different ethnicities... but a better class would be a high school introduction to sociology. lord knows my homogenous high school could have used something like that... kids tend to be myopic in their viewpoints (regional influences, such as peers, parents, and teachers influence young ones early on), and providing a class that presents something out of their own bubble is pretty rewarding.

Well said! The kid never should have been put in that position by the teacher, but I definitely don't see myself taking that kind of crap.

I agree a teacher cant degrade a student no matter what the reason.... he would really be on the news if he did that to my son.
