Isolation and Restraint: Will MicrosoftNBC Televise School Lockup?

Great reporting by ProPublica and Alternet on the realities that are never presented by the corporate media:
Public schoolchildren across the country were physically restrained or isolated in rooms they couldn’t leave at least 267,000 times in the 2011-2012 school year, despite a near-consensus that such practices are dangerous and have no therapeutic benefit. Many states have little regulation or oversight of such practices. This map shows where your state stands. Data compiled as of January 2014.
