1. What a thing to say, even in jest, to a 6-year-old.
*shakes head*

2. Inappropriate and kinda harsh...
but obvously done in jest...

If nothing else, it proves that, try as they might, Republicans can not be funny.

5. Small children cannot recognize irony
Their brains aren't yet wired that way. You can;t say something that awful to a child, even "in jest."

3. Someone with so little grasp of appropriate behavior should not
be in charge of education. Sack the piece of shit.

4. On another thread...

...some people were suggesting that it made a lot of difference if you actually saw the clip and heard him saying it. They seemed to suggest that if wasn't as bad as it seemed when you just READ about it. I don't think it makes that much difference. It still came off very badly and I think I could even hear the teacher reassuring the little gir--or one of the other children--that he was "just kidding". I'm sorry, I just can't get my mind around how he could even THINK to say that even in jest.
