I just read this article on a kid who got voted out of his elemenatary school class! He's autistic, and this article is truly...umimaginable for myself. It's about teachers who are physically abusing kids with autism and using restraints...even resorting to shoving them into a closet for the whole day!
AND THEN WHAT WAS EVEN WORSE, WAS TO READ THE COMMENTS PEOPLE POSTED. I couldn't believe it. Some were really nasty, some were understanding. One that especially angered me was someone who said they thought the newspaper publisher was bored of storm/flood news, so they posted this article. They figured "Oh, the storm news is getting tired. Let's just put this article up!" This person made it sound like this article was not an important issue; that it was just used as a filler. UGH! I am disgusted with some of these comments, and the teachers who did this to these kids. If this happened with a ''normal'' kid, everyone would be defending him/her! But since it is about a developmentally disabled kid, no one gives a crap?
Here is a link to the article & its comments:

some people are so insensitive and really deserve a good slap around the face for their views that they shouldn't publicly air!
People's attitudes are disgusting. My best friend has a brother with Downs Syndrome and she has the same attitude as you. Why are people so oblivious to the fact that they are just the same as people they call "Normal". [[define normal?]]
