| One must take notice when the NYT published an editorial on April 11 entitled, "Torturing Children at School." One can be certain that the NYT, so squeamish about calling waterboarding "torture," did not choose that word without much debate, making the implications of the editorial that much more damning and gruesome. In particular, the NYT editorial board focuses on the practice of tasering even young students in many public schools, sometimes resulting in death: Federal investigators have opened an inquiry into the tragic case of a high school student in Bastrop County, Tex., who suffered severe brain damage and nearly died last fall after a deputy sheriff shocked him with a Taser, a high voltage electronic weapon. |
