Students Forced to Clean Toilets

(Hartford, Connecticut) For two years, Kennelly School art teacher Catherine Saur has required students to clean the toilet in a portable classroom.

Saur has been placed on administrative leave and an investigation has been launched.

Saur's practice of requiring any student who uses the bathroom to clean the toilet with paper towels and a household cleaner containing bleach came to light last week after an 8th-grade student suffered an allergic reaction to the chemical.

School officials claim they were unaware of the practice.
