The teacher can't lay hands on the kid, the other kids can't either, it's interrupting the learning of our future. While it was wrong to single the kid out in front of the class, the kid should have probably been removed and put somewhere else, because it's wrong to sacrifice the good of the many for just the few.

Just as it's wrong to punish a class of kids by no one going on a field trip for one asshole kid killing the class pet.
Man, I was reading your post, and then at the very end I get to this line, "Just as it's wrong to punish a class of kids by no one going on a field trip for one asshole kid killing the class pet." It made me think you were reliving s traumatic event from your own childhood! Did you get denied a field trip because some asshole kid killed the class pet?

But seriously, this is not appropriate. The kid very likely was being disruptive and the teacher could have used a lot of different options for dealing with it including kicking him out of class. But there is no way that rallying a bunch of kindergartners to vote him out of class was the right thing to do! You don't turn children against each other to make a point! What a moron.
