Boooo Hisssss

As there are programs and communities that get Kudos, and there are situations and places that deserve a big Booooo Hissssss.

This is one of them.

Click here to read about an 8 year old with Aspergers that simply wanted to wear her cow hoody to a school party. When told she would have to take it off to attend, she tried to leave to go anyway (stubbornness in an Aspie? Shocking!) teachers restrained her (leaving bruises on her body). When she began to struggle, the school called the police. The girl was handcuffed and taken in a police cruiser to a juvenile detention center, where she was released to her parents an hour later.

(Read the article on this story here.)

Can anyone say "overkill"? Why on earth would they just not allow this girl to wear her cow sweatshirt to the party? A big Boooooo Hisssss to Kootenai Elementary in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
