If you’re searching for the definition of “dick move” this holiday season, look no further.
According to WDAF, Gracemor Elementary School administrators and a bus driver recently punished an eight-year-old blind kid by taking away his cane and replacing it with a pool noodle.
School officials said the cane was school property, and they took it away from Dakota Nafzinger after he allegedly hit another student with it on the bus Monday afternoon. Dakota’s father said that his son sometimes lifts the cane and the bus driver thought he was “using it violently.”
District spokeswoman said Dakota was given a pool noodle as a replacement because he “fidgets and needs something to hold.”
Geez. I mean, never mind the whole “a sturdy device such as a cane helps him determine whether or not there is somebody or something such as a wall in front of him” reason.
No word what the bus driver and school officials have in mind for an encore, but making the third grader with Muscular Dystrophy carry his wheelchair up the stairs the next time he forgets to recycle his bottle of Mountain Dew sounds about right.
