Two parents are speaking out against their son’s school after a teacher reportedly made the fifth-grader lick a desk clean.
George and LaTonia Spencer of Troy, N.Y., claim that after their son was caught doodling on his desk in February, he was forced to lick off the marks. They have turned to the media, as they feel the school’s response to the incident was inadequate, according to ABC Albany affiliate News Center 10.
The school’s principal said the matter would be handled confidentially, reports CBS 6 Albany. However, the parents say the teacher was never suspended or reprimanded and never apologized.
