As a retired New York City teacher, I take exception to what radio host Michael Savage said about autistic children. Mr. Savage, autism is a disease and those afflicted with it are handicapped. To compare them to brats is insensitive and outrageous.
If you want to see brats in action, I cordially invite you and others, especially from the editorial boards of newspapers, to visit New York City classrooms during the current school years. Bring your cameras and let the film roll. Watch for the disrespect, cursing, and violent acts. Watch some of our "children'" in action as they routinely run through the halls while creating general mayhem. I guarantee that you would have a whole new perspective on education and brats. Don't blame autistic children.
