Wasilla Gentleman Almost Definitely Wouldn’t Lock Disabled Children In The Attic
Wasilla, Alaska, city councilman and state House candidate Mark Ewing is sorry, but if nobody else is going to make the tough choices, he will be the one to stand up and say it: Stop wasting tax money sending disabled kids to school! "We are spending millions and millions of dollars educating children that have a hard time making their wheelchair move," he said in a candidates' debate, "and, I'm sorry, but you've got to say, 'no' somewhere. We need to educate our children, butthere are certain individuals that are just not going to benefit from an education."Sorry, special needs children, it is time for you to go back to being chained in your parents' attic like God and horror novellas intended! So Ewing said that, and then the newspaper quoted him and was all "OMG WTF LOLZ" and then Ewing was all FUCK YEAH I said it, PC POLICE!, but then he said, no wait a minute they misquoted me, because "liar." But now Ewing is realizing (maybe?) that oh right, he did say that,he just misspoke .
That lie trajectory (lijectory?) sounds familiar, but we are having a tough time putting our finger on it ... where have we heard ... was it this? No, that is really more like one lie repeated a thousand times, not an ever-evolving lie. Oh, we know! It is this, which is a fun and totally believable follow-up to this.
But where does Blue-Eyed Girl Paul Ryan stand on locking disabled children in attics? Come on, LAMESTREAM MEDIA, let's ask the tough questions for once!

Even without looking at any numbers, it&#039;s simply a definition to say that any additional spending on <i>any</i> specific category of students (special ed, gifted students, teen moms, those with musical talent, and so on) is &quot;disproportionate&quot;. There are important questions that can be asked about any such special programs, such as &quot;how well does it work?&quot;, &quot;how big is the clientele?&quot;, &quot;are the needed resources available?&quot;, &quot;is public school the right place to be providing this service?&quot;
But a discussion of the &quot;Special Education Burden&quot; has to consider <i>how big</i> the disproportion is. Using your example, if you have a school with 13 general and 2 special ed students, then special ed is 50% of the budget. If the population is, say, 1300 general and 40 special ed, then special ed gets 17%. Now, that&#039;s still a substantial number, but my point, such as it is, is that the amount of &quot;disproportion&quot; is the same in both cases -- each special ed student gets 6.5x the staff resources that a general student does.
The overall impact on the school depends on the make-up of the served population
We also have a hard time treating people of various medical issues who use Hoverrounds but we fund their treatment by spending public dollars for Medicare and Medicaid. What a douche. But I&#039;m not surprised since in he lives in the same hell hole as Joan of Wasilla.
