This is going to be unbelievably devastating. This state is going to show its true colors in how it reacts. I lean towards it cheers and celebrates while giving not one damn about the impact to the special needs kids.

Congress has to dissolve the Dept of Education. DJT cannot do it alone. Every parent, or most, that have children in public schools, should be outraged. DJT is systematically destroying America, and our 2 senators, our GOP congress people, grandma, and our GOP state senators and congress people are being very quiet. As though they wish this to happen. I am saddened by all of this. America, in general, is better than this. We all have to pull together to stop this madness. Millions of voices, from all across this state and country have to voice our concerns to stop this.

I work at virtual schools in the state and I have a feeling if this happens, the influx there will be huge. Rural schools and inner city schools won’t survive with funding pulled. I suggest parents start considering alternatives now.

The problem with states that have the power with out a big brother to regulate is un checked disparities. Each state can barely fund its own education system. Alabama spends more on prisons then education. Seem like overhauling over cutting would be the reduced harm path.

So I am a parent that fought for inclusion 30 something years ago. My son is 38. He went to school inclusion graduated and went to college. Was not easy, and yes, there are not enough professionals or aids to help. But the children were exposed to "regular"children, and they were exposed to the unique children. I do believe this was good for both groups of children. We don't need to hide our children, and basically, when they are in contained rooms, that is what happened. So inclusion is a double edgedsword because of negativity from mean middle schoolers..but I think overall it Is a good thing because it teaches other people about disabilities and possible new leaders that learned all people have rights and can possibly make things better.

The Dept. of Education over sees equity in Education as well. Leaving decisions to a state such as Alabama will lead to greater inequities. We know Governor Quaker Oats will sh*t on majority black cities such as Birmingham. This might lead to some pre Brown v Education. You can see all they want is their slimy lizard-hands on the money, and they will most likely allocate funds to their children's districts.
Bret Farv and the MS government showed us how easy it is for them (wealthy ppl & politicians) to take money meant for the poor and fund their children's schools.
