Amazing. This is actually difficult to believe. Usually the bleeding hearts are the first to excuse people with disabilities. I guess the forgiveness of the left doesn't extend to protecting one's self.

    No. The bleeding heart libs often hate kids with special needs. This is because such kids are seen by public school admins as flies in the ointment of their organizations - requiring funds they'd rather spend on things like Earth Day celebrations and condoms. ( only mild sarcasm here)

    Public schools need to be dismantled. They are not teaching reality and logic is lost on them. They are mad that their own device was used in a case...when that's not what they're for. (ps I'm against schools supplying devices, but I like that the kid got this bullying recorded. He did the right thing and sometimes doing the right thing lands you in trouble when evil is in charge of things. I hope it doesn't crush him though. :() I would NOT drop this if I were a parent, not for a second.

      I wouldn't say dismantled. Just reformed.

      If the school was issuing out iPads, then it sounds like it was in an upper-class neighborhood, so naturally there would be more tax money available for those sorts of luxury items. Nothing wrong with that.

        No.poor a'Schools get more funding and think they need more gadgets. Most are not returned or damaged or not used for their intended purpose or lost. It is a huge waste.

          Those "special needs" kids bring in big bucks to the school districts... they may not like them there, but they are quite often a cash cow for the socialist mass-production factories otherwise known as pubschools.

            That's a fact. And it's also a draw back to other kids in the class. The teacher has to spend a lot more time focused on them. They are often disruptive and far behind e others. Not fair to the rest of the class. 30 kids in a class is next to impossible to keep focused without the added special cases... the teachers fall into a pattern of trying to keep them herded to maintain order in the classroom or else it's chaos and mayhem. It's done by design. Turns into teaching collectivist habits and instilling group think and they don't even realize that's what they're doing. Big classes no matter what excuses they have for it, is done on purpose.

        Government and Institutional grants for teaching and learning innovation?! The iPads were probably issued under a grant program. Poorer school district do this all of the time.

    What the kid did, threatened the establishment. The kid's welfare is not important (never mind the usual slogan that it's "for the children" - that simply means bend over). The establishment will fight back, viciously and relentlessly. Another good example to show that socialist schools are a cancer.

    Should have made a copy of the recording, post it to youtube, legal or not let the public hear it. Posting to youtube you could make a freedom of speech / press argument. Since when do we have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public facility (not the bathrooms but common areas of a public facility). I'd wager the first thing to fall would be PA's wiretapping law.

    It can be dangerous to record wrongdoing. Certain elements of the authorities do not want it so that they are not filmed slapping people around or worse. This kid was just made an example of, which often happens to those who lack the resources to defend themselves in what passes for a judicial system these days.

    Ah, the implacable brutality of unmitigated Darwinism, alpha males and might makes right. The war culture is phasing out bleeding hearts for bleeding bodies. The police state is phasing in biased judges, crony cops, and specious arguments. This is just the beginning. Bullies are the new heroes. Just wait till they make sterilization mandatory.

    I blame the whole thing on the teacher. If the teacher had squashed it early on then the incident would not have happened. Since it did happen though, the bullies should be the ones with records, not the one being bullied!!!! The teacher obviously does not have control of the classroom!!!

      Agreed. The teacher clearly witnessed the harassment, and we can infer previous incidents also, and yet did not correct the situation our punish the perpetrators. If punishment had occurred, one presumes the recording would not have been necessary.

    Part of the so-called messiah's plan. Death Panels to those of no use, expectations, or any obligation to his agenda. Some of these people are part of the plan, but forget to realize they are part of the experiment themselves. If you consider this a joke I really have not seen many laughing lately.

    Regardless of whether this student was "special needs" or not, a student that recorded abuse by other students should have been taken seriously and those other students reprimanded appropriately. Then, this student could have been evaluated and addressed appropriately.

    If an individual uses technology to verify/validate their assertion of inappropriate conduct of others, that person should not be sanctioned for such use. Any laws to the contrary are immoral.
