That's where Alexis Caredenas was being taught at Moorhead Senior High School in Minnesota in 2006-2007, according to yesterday's CBS3. Caredenas is on the autism spectrum and does not speak and his mother, Maricruz Caredenas, only found out that the closet was the "specialized instruction room" where her son was being taught when a "sympathetic paraprofessional" showed her.

Someone really thought they could do----they could get away----with that?
