Does it reminds us of a certain tyrant who decided people with disabilities do not have a place in his vision of a "perfect society"?

    .......c'mon. I get it. I get what you're angry about. I get the logic. I'm not even saying you're wrong.

    But I think the more important aspect here is getting care for anyone with special needs. We can point fingers and tell these parents "told you so" after we get people with special needs the help they need. THAT should be the priority.

    Because the way I see it, this is like warning someone that their christmas tree lighting has some stripped wire and is a fire hazard. Then as their house is burning down putting the priority on gloating rather than getting people from inside the house to safety.

    There's plenty of time to gloat after the fire is out.

    Id agree but it is also your house, and they spent months going on about how new lights are just as bad as the ones withs stripped wire, and insulted anyone who thought we should not have lights with stripped wires, and while the house is burning down they are still advocating other people use stripped wire lights, and I can go on.

    I am not a firefighter nor do I have any power to change special education funding. What I do have the power to do is shame the person responsible so it never happens again.

    Right-wingers and centrist enablers deserve every "I told you so" they can hear. Maybe some of it will seep into that atrophied mass they call a brain and they'll learn to listen to others and not vote against their our interests.

    Frankly I'm surprised the Cons even care what happens to disabled kids--- even if they're their own...

    They probably thought he was only going to cut for others' special needs children. The ones that should be in the mines, according to them.
