GOP:Banning Mechanical Restraints on Kids "Gubmint Takeover"

Media Matters highlights Republican resistance to the proposed Keeping All Students Safe Act that would prohibit the use of mechanical restraints and seclusion rooms for schoolchildren who misbehave. There have been cases of death when children were restrained in devices that affected their breathing, with one kid dying in front of his entire class. These Republicans are more concerned with 'States Rights' and Private Schools.

Yes, all these Republicans are 'for the children' when it suits their political agenda. Now, given the 28 million children, under the age of 19, do not have any health insurance or coverage of any type. Why, are these same Republicans, against health care for children? *OR* The care takers (whether they be parents or legal guardians) who make sure they get to school, stay out of trouble & drugs, grow up healthy?

If they are so 'concern' for the welfare of those in their state, why not the actual health and ability to seek care from medical doctors? Dentists? Therapists?

After all, how many people, suffering from say, depression, have access to firearms? But not a medical doctor who could diagnois their mental health?

I think these are fair and reasonable questions to ask these Republicans, who seem 'so' 'concern' for the 'welfare of children'.

I think you only watched the first one. The rest went on to say that this bill would be a terrible thing. Can I hit them now?

Does this ban any sort of mechanical restraint or just 'potentially dangerous' ones? One of these guys talks about sitting on kids--does it also ban a human being physically restraining the child?

I have friends and family that do special needs teaching, and sometimes these kids get violent and there are people around to physically restrain them.
