The Associated PressWASHINGTON - After a series of incidents in which children throughout the country were either handcuffed or electro-shocked for alleged discipline problems, President Bush has proposed new legislation that would allow federal authorities to remove children from homes so they can be placed in “discipline camps.”
“Our children are turning into terrorists,” the president said during a short press conference, in which he stuck firmly to his rule of not answering more than one question from each reporter.
Bush said the children placed in these camps will undergo a series of deprogramming classes along with vigorous “military-type training.”
“By the time these kids get out the camps, they’ll be able to spot a terrorist from a mile away,” he said. “It’s just common sense. It makes America safer.”
The first group of children to be placed in the camps would most likely include a 5-year-old St. Louis boy who was handcuffed for being “unruly”; a 6-year-old Miami boy who was electro-shocked with a Taser gun because he had become uncontrollable; and a 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who was handcuffed for bringing a pair of scissors to school.
