It would have been one thing if these kids had been working in an offsite location under the auspices of this being an adult job. My alma mater's had a work-study program for years where special ed kids have jobs like food service and janitorial work. They go out in the "real world" and do it. Forcing them to pick through garbage in front of their peers, however, is demeaning and cruel. I'm not saying janitorial work is demeaning, but for kids who are the targets of cruelty anyway, it just is another thing to tease them about.

p.s. Rudey I like your new sig. I liked Creed when they were called Pearl Jam.
