When Belchertown State School opened, many parents of disabled children sent them there thinking it was going to be their savior. They believed that their children would be well taken care of, better than they could be at home, and educated to the best of their ability. Little did these parents know that what awaited their children was sadness, misery, and in most cases, pain.
On the steps to the theater, the lyrics to Jeff Buckley’s song “Hallelujah”. These parents believed that BSS was their Hallelujah but, much like the song, it was a cold and broken one.

Neat find. I just had to mention that Leonard Cohen is the lyrical genius who wrote those words (not Buckley), even though Buckley's recording is arguably superior to Cohen's.
