It is pretty obvious where most people will stand on this issue. They will be against the professor and for the boy. Personally, I feel the same. However, I feel it important to mention the other side. The professor was likely not attempting to discriminate against the boy but keep the class from being disrupted. If every time the boy speaks the class loses focus, then it can be understood why he might ask the boy to not speak in class. He did not say that he would not answer the boy's questions but he wants to maintain a studious atmosphere in his class. Teachers will ask other disruptive students to stop speaking, when they do not have speech impediments, if they are disruptive.
While I believe the boy should be allowed to ask questions, I do not believe the professor was trying to do anything wrong.
