Strickland Tells Special Needs Kids…The NEA is More Important Than You
From the PD
Columbus- Gov. Ted Strickland took his first budget to the final day, signing the $52 billion spending plan just hours before the fiscal year ended Saturday and after making good on his threat to veto a tax-funded voucher program to allow special-needs students to attend private schools.
Because special needs kids just don’t deserve any educational choice.

Let me reiterate a point i made somewhere else yesterday: they are only pro-choice when it comes to birth. But, when it comes to choice in where we educate someone, or the use of public funds to do so…no way! There is only one education clinic allowed in the mind of some: the public one.
Why can’t the use of public funds extend to educational choice? Why is easier to make the choice against birth with public funds?
Get your laws off my child!

Mike, you mean they are pro unborn child murder. I wrote lot of post on my blog about the fact that “moonbat Ted” is paying off the unions that helped get him elected. He is not for choice he is for the absolute control of our lives and its easy to start with the Children.

I hope that they try to over ride his veto. It will be hard for local reps to vote against children with special needs.

Just further proof that in education, the kids always come last…
That is why vouchers are the only mechanism that will reform education. Vouchers do not serve schools, unions or a bloated bureacracy…they serve CHILDREN who, with their parents, are the TRUE customers of this quagmire. ESPECIALLY our most at-risk kids who are slaves to one path…government schools.
Very few care or serve the children anymore, and those that do are forceably complicit with the wrong-doings because it’s simply easier to get along than to rock the boat.
It is a sad fact that just like politicians who claim to be conservative, I now get immediately get the same disgusted feeling when someone from the educational lobby tells me their “quest for the children.”
SHOW ME DON’T TELL ME!!!!!
