Akwesasne parents demand answers over 'time out box'

Shock and anger are sweeping through Akwesasne after photos surfaced of a so-called 'time out box' allegedly used for special needs students at St. Regis Mohawk School. Many parents say this brings back painful memories of past abuses in Native schools, and they’re demanding real accountability—not just apologies or staff on leave. The district claims the box was never used, but parents at a heated board meeting told a different story. With state officials now investigating, the community is left asking: How do we ensure our schools are truly safe and supportive for every child? #Education #Akwesasne #SpecialEducation
