Teacher Stuffs Autistic Kid In The Trash And Calls Him Oscar The Grouch

NYDN – A special education teacher in Georgia allegedly stuffed a second grader with autism into a garbage can, claiming he acted like the trash-dwelling “Sesame Street” character Oscar the Grouch, police said. Mary Katherine Pursley, a teacher at Mt. Bethel Elementary School in Marietta, had threatened a Sesame Street-style shaming to the supposedly unruly student on Monday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. “The accused told the victim, ‘If he had trashy behavior like Oscar, he’d go to the trash can,’” Pursley’s arrest warrant says.  She then allegedly picked up the boy by his legs and dumped him head first into a trash can, asking him, “Are you going to stop yelling now?” The boy cried and screamed for her to stop, as three of her colleagues and several special needs students watched the trash thrashing. Pursley, 45, was charged with felony cruelty to children and released Tuesday on $5,000 bail, the Marietta Daily Journal reported. The 21-year veteran of the school district is now on paid leave while the incident is investigated.

Hey lady you know what year it is, right? I mean not to insinuate that stuffing special needs kids in the garbage is ever acceptable no matter what year it is, but its 2015. We’ve got people getting fired for horse emoji tweets. We’ve got the world outraged over a shitty Dirty Dancing video played on a jumbotron at a basketball game. Kids in school cant even eat snacks anymore because of allergies. They arent allowed to play on the playground anymore for fear of injury and lawsuits and stuff.

And you’re out there throwing special ed kids in the garbage can likening them to a dumpster dwelling muppet???? I mean Jiminy Cricket lady. Everybody loves to throw around “tone deaf” these days but you are as fucking deaf as the come. You are the Helen Keller of understanding today’s society. “Oh I’m gonna teach him a lesson! Trashy behavior means you’re just like Oscar the Grouch. Now let me flip over this Aspergers kid and put his head in the garbage can! My work as an educator is done!” Tomorrow you can call all the fat girls Miss Piggy and pick out all the boys with homosexual tendencies and call them Bert and Ernie. Should go over real well.
