Restraint and seclusion incidents in public schools – YouTube


Schools all over the country are putting children into “calm rooms”, “isolation rooms”, “isolation booths”, “quiet rooms”, “recovery rooms”, “scream rooms”, and “seclusion rooms”. Call it what you will, this is solitary confinement and it is torture. Internationally, solitary confinement is considered torture even for prisoners and yet we allow schools to enforce it upon our children.
