Parents complained and the school board launched an investigation, which the Buffalo News reports ended with Dunnigan being disciplined.

"Everybody on the board was appalled by that, everybody," said board member James Sampson at a meeting, adding, "We're very concerned about what this communicates to little kids and to families."

This is pre-K. Kids are between 3 and 4 years old. I had no idea we subjected them to school so early and am also shocked so many parents would send their little ones out filthy enough to provoke this reaction.

Sad times.

If this is the case it sounds like a case for CPS.. I take better care of my dog than this... she has a growth on the inside of her leg and kept licking it so she now wears tights .. she has a pair for each day of the week and I wash them before she wears them again - and she doesn't soil them, I just change them like I change my underwear - daily.

Cincinnatus:
I just change them like I change my underwear - daily.

My guess is that some of these kids still wet the bed or wear diapers to bed and are not cleaned up in the morning..just one of many possibilities

Whatever it is is very sad -- I've seen kids like this and it breaks my heart.
