As my friend eloquently puts it: What a f*ckin’ Bastard!
A substitute teacher in Lake County, Fla., was terminated and banned from teaching in the county after he ripped out a student’s insulin pump during class apparently thinking it was a ringing cell phone, [...] Witnesses said the class teacher, Richard Maline, 51, asked the student what the beeping was. School officials said Maline then grabbed the device, thinking it was a cell phone beeping and detached the tube that connects the insulin pump to the student’s leg.
Does this look like a cellphone?
The article did not mention whether or not the student claimed the device was an insulin pump. I was under the impression that the teacher asked then removed the device without allowing the student an opportunity to explain. If so, this teacher deserves a “Bastard of the quarter” badge to wear around town.
