In September 2018 There was an incident at North West Laurens elementary school involving a first grade teacher by the name of Judy Smith. Video has now surfaced of the teacher grabbing the child by her chin multiple times and getting in her face, publicly embarrassing her in front of her classmates and bringing her to tears. The school board supposedly addressed the issue, however she is still a teacher at the school district and it is unacceptable. 
This petition is in effort to have the teacher terminated or call for her resignation. Our kids need to be protected from any further action like this in the future.
