Because, as everyone knows, special education is THE most overfunded part of our educational system. Fucking asshole. There is a very hot place in hell for people like this.

My kid graduated high school in 2012. Most of that time he was in SE classes. I’ve attended meetings all over the area regarding parent concerns regarding SE funding.I actually heard one school district supervisor quip that SE dollars are a waste because “everyone knows these kids won’t go anywhere, the parents are just using the schools for babysitting”. YES, he said that. And yes he was “let go” later. For THIRTEEN years, from k-12, I spent so much time at school, fighting for help- and then having to make sure he was getting what they said they’d deliver, being transportation because the kid was harassed on the regular bus(he didn’t want to ride the little bus, because he knew what THAT would cause) and no one gave a damn. I literally gave up a career and any earning power to make fucking sure my kid got an education because I KNEW the shit he was up against.

And people like this, this, “governor” will then go on to bitch and whine and trash talk people with disabilities who are a “drain on society”. I hope he gets bitten on the ass by a hoard of angry ants. Bastard.

(OK, I need coffee and more sleep. I apologize. Gifted programs aren’t the same as special ed classes. My overall sentiment still applies however)
