This is a true story about the children in the 40s who were sent to the Fernald school for feebleminded children, when they didn't score high enough on rigged IQ tests. And despite being told they were retards, being treated like retards and having an actual medical diagnosis of 'moron' in their records, they were smart enough to plot escapes from the school, eventually they got caught, and returned, but they always tried again. Some of them made news in the 90s for the Science Club's exposure to radiation in experiments performed without the informing of or consent from any of their families. Has anybody here read this book?
