1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: There is a huge unanswered question in the story I'm

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: about to tell you, But first the facts as we

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: know them. Lynda Hampton is a preschool teacher in the

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: Waco Independent Public School District. She saw that one of

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: her young students was in distress. The little boy had

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: stuffed so much pizza into his mouth and began to choke.

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: So Miss Hampton ran to the child and performed a

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: finger sweep. Not for those of you in real Lynda,

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: finger sweep isn't what you think it is. The teacher

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: cleared out the boy's mouth with her finger, pulling out

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: a gob of pizza. The boy was saved. It was

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: a job well done. But a year later, state regulators

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: reviewing the situation moved to take away Lynda Hampton's teaching license. Apparently,

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: a classroom aid had a different perspective. She claimed a

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: teacher's finger sweep was just a mean spirited attempt to

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: deprive the five year old of his public school breakfast.

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Yet another adult in the classroom backed miss Hampton's account,

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: but state investigators never bothered to speak with her. Now,

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Thankfully for Lynda Hampton, Robert Muller wasn't called in. She

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: might be still under investigation. Finally, last week, after two years,

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: she prevailed. When the aid admitted the boy had indeed

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: been in distress. The judge tossed the case, which brings

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: us to the big unanswered questions. Since when do preschool

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: kids get taxpayers supplied pizza for breakfast, for crying out

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: loud to heck with the finger sweep? When do we

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: start doing this
