SANTA MONICA, CA – The former elementary school teacher of a White House senior advisor was suspended after talking about how the third grader allegedly ate glue and was a “loner.”
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District placed teacher Nikki Fiske on “home assignment” while it decides how to handle the comments she made about third-grade Stephen Miller, district spokeswoman Gail Pinsker said. Miller, now 33, works alongside President Trump, but his grade school teacher probably didn’t see that coming.

In the Hollywood Reporter article by Fiske, “as told to Benjamin Svetkey,” a senior editor, the teacher compares young Miller to Pig Pen, a “Peanuts” character depicted with a dust cloud emanating from him. “He was a strange dude,” she wrote.
“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 recounted.
The teacher went on to say Miller had “such strange personal habits,” and was a loner, “isolated and off by himself all the time.”
Fiske allegedly wrote her concerns in Miller’s school record, but when the school principal had a conference with his parents, they were horrified, so the principal removed her comments using Wite-Out.
SMMUSD’s concern is “about her release of student information, including allegations that the release may not have complied with applicable laws and district policies,” Pinsker told the Los Angeles Times. “This has been picked up by other digital publications and blogs, and some issues have been raised,” she said.
The 72-year-old teacher is a registered Democrat, the Los Angeles Times reported.
