OUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

Torture In America's Schools

- WALL STREET JOURNAL - The Obama administration's Government Accountability Office has issued a shocking report on "selected cases of death and abuse by torture"-- not at Guantanamo Bay or other detention facilities for terrorists, but at schools for American children:

A 7 year old died after being held face down for hours by school staff, 5 year olds being tied to chairs with bungee cords and duct tape by their teacher and suffering broken arms and bloody noses, and a 13 year old hung himself in a "seclusion room" after prolonged confinement. At a public school in West Virginia, a 4-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and autism was "uncooperative," so teachers restrained her in a chair with multiple leather straps that resembled a "miniature electric chair." The girl was later diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder as a result of ongoing torture. At least one of the three teachers responsible is still employed at the school. A 195 pound "counselor" physically restrained a small boy for approximately 8 minutes during which time the boy continued to struggle and scream "Get off me, get off me." Another child reported hearing the boy yell, "Stop it, I can’t breathe." The 195 pound counselor responded, "You’ll be able to breathe if you stop struggling." After approximately 20 minutes of physical restraint, the student lost consciousness, and CPR was administered. The boy was taken to the hospital where he died a day later. The autopsy determined the cause of death as hypoxic encephalopathy due to compressional asphyxia, a brain injury sustained as a result of lack of oxygen due to the compression of the student’s chest. At a Texas public school, a 230-pound "special education teacher" forced a 129-pound boy of 14 "into a prone restraint and lay on top of him until he was dead", all because he would not stay in his seat. The case was ruled a homicide but no charges were filed. The teacher "currently teaches in Virginia and is licensed to instruct children with disabilities." In a California public school, the teacher of a 7-year-old autistic girl "secluded child in a walled off area because she refused to do work, sat on top of her because she was wiggling a loose tooth, and repeatedly restrained and abused her." The teacher "left the school but began teaching again in a different school district." Children as young as 6 years old were  placed in strangleholds, restrained for extended periods of time, confined to dark rooms, prevented from using the restroom causing them to urinate on themselves, and tethered to ropes in one public school district. The list go's on and on. Despite hundreds and hundreds of cases documenting horrific crimes against children uncovered by Obama's own bureau, during his watch, he has done exactly nothing to stop the sanctioned torture of helpless children at the hands of these "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" - Nurse Ratchet wannabees. Josef Mengele would be proud of us!
