Laura Kirby McIntosh lives in Canada and is now making a difference around the world.   Earlier this week, Laura read the story about a FL school teacher who held a vote in her kindergarten class to allow the students to remove a possibly autistic child from the classroom.

The teacher has since been re-assigned, but the uproar is still growing.  Laura used thePetitionSite to start a petition to vote the teacher out of her class.  The petition now has over 5,000 signatures, and today was featured on CNN - which likely will raise even more awareness.

We’ve seen this on many occasions – an individual sees a problem, takes action by setting up a petition, and suddenly it’s national news.   At the very minimum, the teacher has been removed from her position, and a lot more people are talking about this incident, the responsibilities of teachers, the importance of tolerance and support for children with disabilities. 

It sounds like this story still hasn’t fully played out yet, but thank goodness for people like Laura who stand up and take action.  That’s how we make a difference.
