The article and comments irritate me with the presumption of simple blame, and simple answers. Aspergers and other behaviour problems are DIFFICULT. They take a lot of effort and additional resources in the classroom. And real teachers do get into wrong behaviour cycles with difficult kids. My mom was a teacher, and the only tantrum I ever saw was at home when she heard that kids accused her of favouring one of her own.
The answer? HTFU, get involved and do what you can with what you have. And help these teachers do a good job too, by not treating predictable fairly rare occurrences as diagnostic of some major culpability.
