America is becoming sicker by the day. We seem to be fast approaching the depths of our ugliness in the manner in which we have maligned this lady. I have never seen more vindictiveness, hate, irrationality , hypocracy , and I dare say even racism displayed by a press bent on sensationalism, and supported by sick maniacs whose only intent is to destroy the career and character of an obviously dedicated teacher , who may have displayed some degree of poor judgement (and i stress "may") , but who obviously had the well being of all her students (Alex included) at heart. The school' s administration and the parents of the young boy are more guilty of neglect than Ms. Portilllo could ever be. In their efforts to save face, they have thrown Ms. Portillo to the wolves. I will not be surprised if the mother takes it a step further and uses this oppportunity to gain monetarily. The entire matter has given me a nauseating feeling, and as much as i have compassion for the young child, I feel a great disservice has been done to the veteran teacher. May God save this country from the vermins and viruses that have taken possession of it and may Ms. Portillo regain her status and good name in the teaching profession.

Cathy Oliver, ESE Coordinator is very much supporting Wendy Portillo. I was at the Wendy Portillo appeal, where she announced her support. Also, Cathy continues this as she wears these ribbons/colors to school/ work, Morningside Elementary. I worry about the other children and parents who deal with Cathy. Dee, is a real person who was also at the appeal, her child voted for Alex to stay in class. She has since taken her children out of Morningside. It is true.
