6-year-old Caleb Squires was left in tears after a teacher took the microphone a moment before he was going to say gobble gobble.
He was ready, opened his mouth and was about to speak, when the teacher snatched the mic.
Caleb burst into tears and some people in the audience laughed.
Harrison County Superintendent Dr. Mark Manchin tried to defend the teacher having said: “It’s a mistake that was made. There was no malice. This teacher, as all our teachers, truly care about these young boys and girls.”
The video went viral and sparked a lot of outrage.
This teacher keeping her job would set an awful example. Caleb is just a kid and even though he may sound different - it doesn’t make him any less of a human being! He deserved to talk, sing or whatever into the microphone like every other kid. People who have autism shouldn’t have less privileges or a worse treatment!
