One point that is not covered in this article, probably because it is highly subjective, is the desire for our schools to be run like prisons. Anyone who slips outside of the desired norms gets branded. In minority schools, they call the cops. In white schools, they call doctors to give them a pill.

Quote:Has Autism Prevalence Increased?
Quote:President Donald Trump said there has been a “tremendous” increase in autism in U.S. children. There has been a large increase in the reported cases of autism, but scientists don’t know if this is due to a broadening of the disorder’s definition and greater efforts in diagnosis or an actual increase in the number of individuals who have autism.
