he for one, had no choice to be there. He had no access to other alternatives other than those he listed prior to enrollment. That he succeeded

Have you read this?

The school has about 220 students from seven states, including Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Ohio, New Hampshire and Florida.

The director of the Judge Rotenberg Center testified at a Massachusetts legislative hearing that one student received 5,300 electric shocks in one day. In his testimony, he stated that over a 24-hour period, this student, a teenager who weighed only 52 pounds, was strapped to a board and subjected to an average of one shock every 16 seconds.

It is of concern to the signers of this letter that the Judge Rotenberg Center spent almost three million dollars of public funds (Medicaid and state education funds) on its lobbying efforts to continue the practices described in government reports.
