A state law was meant to help families by allowing the use of public money to fund students’ tuition at special education boarding schools around the country. But in solving one problem, lawmakers created another.
Yeah, it’s fuckin wild too, I personally feel that more people should know about Elan, but it’s sort of so insane that people just kind of mentally punch out immediately if you try to tell them about it because they don’t believe something so awful could even happen as the author of the comic mentions. Absolutely fucked…
More people need to read Joe’s story. It’s heartbreaking. It’s easy to say that bad things happen but it’s a lot harder not to care after reading something like that
Sorry I kinda blacked out large chunks of it. I read it years ago and have learned more over the years (tbh idk if it was even finished when I read it). The control methods they use remain seared in my mind though. Fucking hell…
Elan is unfortunately not an exception. These are all made in the image of synanon and they’re still prevalent

I just read 30 something chapters of that. Is there any cause out there that combats places like this? I’d like to help or donate.
Indeed, I know about Synanon, ironically, because the comic I linked mentions it.
