Thank you all for the kind responses. As for the Youtube clip: I just thought I'd bring it to your attention, in case it hasn't already been disseminated, oh well. I actually live in Washington, DC, and have access to a great many government organizations. Since I was going to be applying to many of them anyway, I thought it would be wise to apply to some of their divisions which deal with matters of interest to me. Since finding this board, I have been fascinated with the legal issues surrounding this matter, and was hoping to focus my efforts this summer on an area in which I can do some good. I understand that this had been a problem for a great long while, and that many dedicated advocates have worked to help bring an end to these schools, but I'm positive one more voice wont wreck the choir. I shall seek out more information about the agencies that are working toward resolving this issue, and would be grateful for any assistance this board could provide. I will keep you updated as to my progress.
For those of you who have been victimized by these schools, I'm sorry. Hopefully sometime soon your suffering will abate, and your efforts will prevent future generations from suffering the same fate. If anything, take solace in the fact that we are all here temporarily, and now that your lives and futures are your own, you can make whatever you wish out of the rest of your stays here. I, for one, hope to always look forward, treading a new path - disconnected from the old. Every morning I wake up I am a new person, with the amazing ability to redefine myself, my life, and my purpose.
