Choate is not worth saving
I cannot express the rage I experience when I see, "Stand up for Choate workers."
To everyone that that is mad about Choate Developmental Center closing their developmental disability side and downsizing the number of beds on the forensic unit, turn your rage towards the right people.
Shame the people who couldn't stop abusing folks with disabilities.
Shame the administrators that upheld a code of silence.
Shame AFCSME for protecting these losers and only speaking up when *the jobs* were in jeopardy.
Shame Tyler Tripp for folding when he had a chance to protect the most vulnerable among us.
These are the people who lost those jobs. Choate had 20+ years of warnings, and they just couldn't stop abusing people. Jobs caring for vulnerable people is a trust, not an entitlement. It was willfully forfeited by terrible people.
