he Daily Caller’s worst teacher of the week is a no-brainer this time: it’s Thomas Washburn, an Arizona kindergarten teacher who was yelling at all the kids in his class. Then, when one little girl got scared and hid her face in her shirt, Washburn allegedly removed her shirt completely, leaving her naked from the waist up.
The little girl is six years old, reports local television station KTVK.
The incident occurred on Wednesday at Adams Elementary School in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa.
Police say Washburn, 54, was hollering at the 25 kids in his class for some reason. The little girl, described by her mother as “developmentally delayed” due to a premature birth, was frightened. Consequently, she hid her face down in her shirt.
Washburn did not like this response. He told the girl to stop hiding her face. She didn’t listen, probably because she was even more scared.

I don’t think I know what CSC is…..
For those saying that only women should teach young children, sorry, but it’s going to depend on the woman. Feminist teachers and administrators heap abuse on little boys in the school system. I have no doubt they would castrate them if allowed. Instead, they merely pressure the parents into drugging them into being little zombies. I would prefer that my sons never have another woman teach them any subject. It doesn’t excuse this creep, but automatically thinking women are better teachers is ..... sorry to say it, stupid.
This is why putting criminals in stocks in the public square worked. Let the citizens decide how much stuff they want to pummel the miscreant with based on the crime. It also helps with all the criminals whose family claims they are such a nice person. Families were allowed to place themselves between the perp and the citizens so they would take a pummelling also.
No, I don’t think that he did it because he’s a man, but I think that a woman is more nurturing and less likely to act in such a cold vindictive way.
Actually, it was just plain foolish to even touch the girl, let alone remove her top. It is possible that the incident is not exactly as described, that the child was not cowering, but covering face to taunt the teacher, but his reaction was just plain stupid.
I remembering visiting a home for “orphan” or problem kids or something. Just a weekend, I don’t remember why.
Anyway, 2 boys tried to run away. Their punishment was no clothes, just wear trash bags. lol. Boys and girls had separate “houses”, of course.
For the kids who followed the rules, there was a pool, game room, horses... I remembered thinking that it wouldn’t be so bad. The only thing I might have had a problem with (much later anyway) was the Presbyterian Church attendance was mandatory. I’m Baptist.

That would be criminal sexual conduct. It covers pretty much everything from rape to indecent exposure and such.
eyedigress your story brought back memories of my first grade teacher. She did crap like that to students. By today’s standards she’s be on the 6pm news and in jail or be sued if not both.
We think there is something “seriously wrong” with him? I wonder if he is don’t the same crap to the kids that was done to him in the 1970’s? I can see a teacher doing this in the 1970’s! Maybe not to a female student but to a male one. Difference here is he’s a male teacher and this is the year 2014. If you think about it he is old enough to remember 1970’s type of punishments. He figured if it worked for us it works for them? Yea he was not thinking.
This story, indeed is nauseating. And to think my dh lost his teaching position (at a public school), for explaining to a student, who asked when they were discussing the elections, that “most Republicans think abortion is murder.” That’s it! Dh was fired! After ten years of solid work!
what a class A jerk
In this era of “non-bullying hysteria” I have to say this child was bullied.
Did anyone check his cell phone?

“On a personal note, having been certified for foster care and licensed for adoption, I am looking forward to becoming a single father for the first time and am waiting the placement of children in my home. “
Hopefully this episode stops him from any type of adoption!
Take him behind a shed and put this sick bas-TURD to sleep forever!
Men should not teach elementary school because too many of them turn out to be pedophiles.
Let me guess..Registered Democrat and he has tenure
LOL, yes, she would appear to be acceptable.
Bump! Stripes suit him.
