What say you?
It certainly isn’t the home of the free any longer.
Horrible, isn't it?
Autistic children can be trying, or even violent. However, when properly trained, staff can deal with even the worst without Police involvement. Calling the Police in this situation did nothing for the kid, and it got the school sued.

I, too, see nothing wrong with the sweatshirt for an 8 year old. Teachers working with autistic children should be able to understand their condition and not to discriminate in this way. It is an over-reacting district. The parents should win this based on the denial of the party alone.
This is terrible, and not much different than the little boy being pepper-sprayed in CO. The teachers are supposed to be trained to deal with these special little wonders. Unfortunately, teachers sometimes let their own personalities and prejudices show. And should be disciplined themselves.
