OTHELLO, Wash. – An elementary teacher was reprimanded – but is still employed – after he ordered an 8-year-old boy to unclog a school toilet with his bare hands.

Scootney Springs Elementary teacher Brent Taylor admitted he ordered the child to do it, according to KEPR.

“I’m still speechless,” parent Lisa Adams says.

The child did not use gloves or a plunger.

His parents found out when they asked their son how his day at school was.

“He said everything was good, but my teacher made me put my hand inside the toilet. We were like, what?!” the boy’s father says.

The news station reports:

The third grader had reported a clogged toilet to his teacher, Brent Taylor. According to records obtained from the Othello School District, Taylor ordered the eight year old to put his bare hands in the toilet and unclog it, saying, “it’s nothing I haven’t done before.”

“He did get made fun of, kids did see this happen, and he’s not going to go to that school,” Lisa Adams says.

The teacher, a 23-year veteran, was order to take a “safety course” on hygiene – the same course he reportedly took two months earlier.

Taylor also received a written reprimand and “the case was closed.”

But according to the news station, the teacher has received two other reprimands in the past 16 months, both “inappropriately touching female high school students.”

And last year, Taylor was put on leave when a teacher’s aide complained he “roughly grabbed her arm in anger.”

And this school year, another aide said she was left feeling uncomfortable after Taylor allegedly “tickled the back of her neck.”

The school stands by the light punishment, despite numerous instances of questionable behavior.

The state education department “has no plans” to look further into the teacher’s behavior or the school’s response.

” … If he did it to our child, how many other kids has he done that to?” the boy’s father wonders.

The student has since transferred to another school. The teacher is still clogged in the Othello School District.
