Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Sorry, apo, but doesn't "institutionalization" virtually imply abuses of authority, together with craven unwillingness to stand up to it?

No, unless "virtually" is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence. In fact, I'm not really clear what you're suggesting.
The institution in question is a school "serving both high-functioning students with conduct, behavior, emotional, and/or psychiatric problems and low-functioning students with autistic-like behaviors". Clearly there's something seriously wrong there. But are you saying that institutions with such goals shouldn't exist? (I'm pretty sure your answer on this one can't be less regulation).
