And there it is … they’ve finally said it out loud. This should be the headline in tomorrows paper. Sarah better be careful about using the words “all kids.”

Sounds like an excellent business opportunity with little to no competition for a caring person to open a private school and give those kids the educating they deserve. If public school is the best option for them, that's great. They're not losing anything they don't already have

I suspect none of this will hold up in court and, make no mistake, it will be challenged in court.

If you get any form if public tax dollars from the general fund, you have to follow all legal statues including the disabilities act. This bill has no chance to hold up in court. #goodluck

Wouldn’t this free up money for disabled students? And encourage someone to create schools that can cater to their specific needs?

Democrats have zero common sense.

Texas school district plans to segregate 5,000 students with disabilities—bus them to far away separate, but equal facilities. Now even Trump's Dept. of Education has opened civil rights investigation. "Longer bus rides could create challenges for students with medical needs," federal government report states. "Schools cannot exclude students with disabilities simply because of their disability status." The school district's plan would move kids from their neighborhood schools starting this year—to designated "Special Education Specialty Schools." Parents argue that it removes children from their communities, long-time friendships, routines, and established support networks. Houston Independent School District officials claim busing students with disabilities will help the district address long-standing compliance issues.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, opened doors that were once firmly shut for students with disabilities. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the IDEA, we reflect on how far we’ve come, and the work yet to do, to protect students with disabilities.

Republicans gutted public education in Arizona to fund private school vouchers. Now they want to export that failure nationwide through a private school voucher tax credit. Today, with Rep. Gwen Moore, I introduced the Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools Act to repeal this giveaway and keep public dollars in public schools where they belong.

Before the Americans with Disabilities Act, a person with disabilities could be denied service in a restaurant or grocery store. An employer could refuse to interview or hire you because of a disability. With the ADA, we began to give every American a fair chance in the race of life.

On November 29, 1975, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act was signed into law. Today, this law, now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), ensures all infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and their families have access to special education, related services, and early intervention that meet their needs.

This is what it sounds like to talk out of both sides of your mouth: “I am the government, and I give you ‘choice’—but only on my terms.” I will take your tax dollars—money meant for public schools that serve all children—and funnel it into private institutions, that can pick and choose who they accept, and the vendors pockets. I will tell you this is about “parental rights,” but I won’t tell you that many of these private schools aren’t required to follow state special education services. I will say I support small government, but I will micromanage public schools with endless regulations, funding cuts, and state-mandated curriculum changes, while letting private schools take public money with little to no accountability. I will tell you that competition makes education better, but I won’t tell you that when public schools lose funding to private schools, they’re left with fewer resources, larger class sizes, and fewer services for the students who need them most. I will promise you “school choice,” but if you live in a rural area where no private schools exist, or if your child has special needs that private schools won’t accommodate, your “choice” is to stay in a defunded, struggling public school. This isn’t #Schoolchoice This is a power play to dismantle public education under the guise of freedom. #Txlege

Does the United States have an education deficiency in public schools? A Philadelphia student exposes his Highschool for failing its students. Instead of reacting responsibly because kids struggle with reading, they’ve decided to punish the student. Who’s in the right? School or student?

VIVEK: Education Officer said village schools work like this. Ashutosh Ranka: Then send your own children there. If Madan Dilawar sends his family to that buffalo shed school, we will stop the movement. VIVEK: Those who stopped you send their own children to private schools. Ashutosh Ranka: Of course. Who will choose a buffalo shed school if they can escape it? VIVEK: Government schools are being killed for private schools? Ashutosh Ranka: Exactly. Break government schools, push poor children to private schools, and then pretend there is no money. Half their leaders run expensive schools. Have some shame.

Republicans are creating a national school voucher program that will leave public schools with less funding and abandon students with disabilities. Arizona already has school vouchers and we've seen the consequences. I'm fighting to give every kid a fair shot.

Public money belongs in public schools. Christine Drazan’s education plan would take that money out of our K-12 system and send it to private schools. That’s not how we support every student, and I’ll keep fighting for the public schools that serve all of Oregon’s kids.
