Starve The Poor for Tolerance, Equality, and Understanding!
A Grade 3 student is the little girl who gave too much.
Stephanie Templeton, 8, arrived on two separate occasions with a bag full of canned goods for her North York school's food drive.
On Tuesday when Stephanie arrived with her second load of six cans, her teacher at Derrydown Public School in the Keele St. and Finch Ave. W. area sent them back home with her because she was making other students feel bad, Stephanie's dad, Frank Templeton, said yesterday.
"The teacher said she was showing up the other kids," the shocked father said. "We teach her to do the best she can, and they basically just stuffed the cans back in her knapsack and sent her home with them."
LIMIT OF FOUR CANS
Stephanie said in Grade 2 at the same school they had a competition to see who could give the most number of cans but this year's teacher set a limit of four cans per student.
The undaunted 8-year-old said she still wants to give more and more.
"I want to help people who are suffering without food," Stephanie said. "We have lots of food and it makes me feel good to give it to people."
Principal Yvonne Castello said the teacher was worried Stephanie was collecting food with a little too much zeal.
"The teacher was a little concerned," Castello said. "She didn't want any of the other kids to feel pressured -- especially those kids who aren't able to bring anything."
She said it was not school policy to limit the amount of food a student could donate.
FINALLY ACCEPTED
The school late yesterday accepted Stephanie's extra donations.
The food drive started Dec. 1 and was Derrydown's most successful food drive ever, the principal said.
Castello is proud of her school's contributions -- 20 boxes of food to the North York Harvest Food bank as well as another eight boxes and a wheelbarrow full of food for the Jane-Finch Community, she said.
The school also sponsors a child in South Africa and helps out the families of its own students who are in need.
But Frank Templeton said all his daughter was trying to do was help out all those who benefit from the school.
"I didn't think there was any limit. "If I want to send in 300 pounds of food they should be able to accept it," he said.

Make no mistake folks, the tolerance crowd would hold no reservations in slaughtering a busload of schoolchildren on their way to Sunday School if it meant total equality. See what the Political Correctness Nazis are trying to do to you. Systematic destruction of free societies, western nations, and human values altogether.
