'He was a strange dude': Stephen Miller's third grade teacher remembers him as a loner who ate glue

[Dulcinea]

As a third-grade student, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller would cover his hands with glue, peel it off, and eat it.

Franklin elementary teacher Nikki Fiske taught the man credited as the architect of Trump's Muslim ban, and the policy of separating families at the border.

She told The Hollywood Reporter in the year she spent with him at the Santa Monica school, he was 'a strange dude' who she had 'a lot' of concerns about.

'I remember he would take a bottle of glue — we didn't have glue sticks in those days — and he would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it,' she said.

He's even more disturbed than I thought.

1. I used to spread Elmer's Glue onto my palm, then peel it off to make 'lizard skins'.

I never ate it, though. Because that's just fucking weird...

3. I did the same, I also did not eat the glue nor did I know anyone who did.

11. Back in 1961 the paste in jars smelled and tasted like mint, and we all had a taste. Teacher told us

not to, but we did anyway.

2. I bet he ate boogers too but she's just too nice to embarrass him more

Amazing how such an evil weirdo has been vaulted to quite a powerful position.

4. She should apologize and say she did nazi him eating glue

n/t

8. I did nazi that coming!

5. "Get him outta here"

6. That was to tide him over until the next booger formed.

12. You couldn't wait to write the word booger, could you!

7. --- still is.

I like Showercap/Ferret's photo of him. The one where he photoshopped "This Space For Rent" on Steve's forehead.

9. A former classmate said that he found it odd that he was obsessed

with keeping people out of his "space" and put up boundaries yet his space/desk were super dirty and gross. I wonder if he was ever referred to be tested by any of his teachers. Students have ID cards that are passed onto the next year's teacher to give them a heads up as far as academics and behavior is concerned. When teachers have concerns they do a ton of observations and documentation in the class before they pass it on as a referral.

10. What we do in 3rd grade has little to do with what we do as adults.

Yes, it's amusing to laugh at a nazi like Miller because when he was 8 years old he did something weird. All 8-year-olds do weird stuff. I'm kind of amazed a teacher would talk like that about a former student. If you've never spread Elmer's Glue-All over a hand and peeled it off like skin when it dries, you've missed something cool. Eating it is another thing, but 8-year-olds are often oral little buggers.

13. I think you spelled booger wrong. Its booger, not bugger.

[Nitram]

14. You need a little work on your reading comprehension. I wrote that "8-year-olds are often oral

little buggers," meaning they'll eat almost anything. Those little buggers even eat boogers. Got it?
