Are they water-boarding teenagers yet? Probably not. But the House Dems are going to look into so-called “boot camps” for wayward teens tomorrow, and it’s the closest thing to Abu Ghraib that we have going on in education these days. “The House Education and Labor Committee will hold a full committee investigative hearing to examine allegations of child abuse and neglect, including cases resulting in death, at residential treatment facilities (often called boot camps or wilderness programs).” Tasteless, I know.
