The entire case presents a chilling and thought provoking debate on the abusive and disgusting practices teachers are using in public schools. And thanks to Stuart Chaifetz we are now aware of it. A resident of Cherry Hill, Stuart is a single parent of his autistic son, Aklan.

Prisoners Taking Care Of Cats (Video)
At a Yacolt, Washington prison the inmates are not the only one’s getting a second chance to live. A cat rescue organization called “Cuddly Cats” has teamed up with the Washington prison in order to allow specially screened offenders (without a violent history) to take care of these cats that would otherwise be euthanized.
The goal of this special program is to get the cats prepared for adoption outside of the prison. So these inmates take the cats temporarily to train them and care for them. Counselor Monique Camacho comments, “The offenders don’t get a lot of chances to do right by the community, so it gives them the opportunity to directly impact the community”.
