Bully Teacher?/DNA Dilemma
Former kindergarten teacher Cynthia says her life was torn apart when a classroom lesson led to her being convicted of official oppression, a misdemeanor, and sentenced to two years’ probation and 30 days in jail. Prosecutors claimed Cynthia told her students to line up and strike a 6-year-old boy, to teach him “how it feels to be bullied.” Cynthia says the whole ordeal was a big misunderstanding, and now she’s falsely labeled as a “bully teacher” — and might never lead a classroom again. How does she describe what happened that day?
