The emotional incident unfolded as young Caleb, dressed as a turkey, stood on the stage, shedding tears that exposed his inner turmoil and disappointment in front of the entire audience.
While acknowledging the teacher’s intention to maintain the smooth flow of the play without unexpected disruptions, the handling of the situation has come under criticism from Caleb’s mother, Amanda, as well as others who have witnessed the incident through a viral video circulating online, according to The Sun.
Amanda expressed deep sadness, explaining that all Caleb wanted was another opportunity to say his line, “gobble, gobble, gobble.” She believes that the school acted unfairly by abruptly snatching the microphone away from him.
The sympathetic response to Amanda’s plight has been overwhelming, with numerous online commenters expressing their support and asserting that granting Caleb an extra line would not have caused any harm.
