Or just google his name, really.

Zakh and his family need our help. As an autism community, we should condemn the school district. One, they refused to follow his IEP. There are LAWS against this. Second, he was in a meltdown and cornered, and probably didn't know what was going on. Wouldn't YOU panic if you were in this situation?

Please, everyone. Let's help Zakhquery Price and those like him. He is a disabled little boy, NOT a felon.
