Spit It Out

Alex Kindopp says a teacher at Iowa's Shenandoah Elementary School had students spit on her 9-year-old son after he stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry at another student. Superintendent Jeff Hiser told local media he could not comment on the claim since it involves a personnel matter, but he said the teacher has been placed on leave.
