My conservative friends may want to ridicule such things as sensitivity training, and certainly it can get to be no better than a racket. But faced with total ignorance such as this - http://www.palmbeachpost.com/treasurecoast/content/tcoast/epaper/2008/05/29/0529slteacher.html - does anyone dare say that sensitivity training in the matter of autism would not have done a lot of good in this case? This woman actually thought that she was acting constructively!

Yes, that's what I thought she was doing. And it shows you that even if you ban the more obvious kinds of force from the classroom - the cane, etc. - the ways to be cruel are infinite, and most of them begin with good intentions.
