There are very few, not a lot, but some that specialize in dyslexia, etc. I know a few families that have used them. They are usually out of state, and the child has to live at them. One I knew was 70k and another was around 50k per school year. That is way more than many families could afford.

God I hate her face. During her confirmation the way she said “thank you for your question senator” after every question- clearly as a way to buy time so she could think up some bullshit answer- made me FURIOUS.

Here in Minnesota my GOP Rep Jason “Why is it my problem if my neighbor owns slaves” Lewis has been equally unavailable while posting to Facebook about how excited he is to repeal Obamacare and how he likes the Muslim Ban.

TBH most expensive private schools DON’T have special ed. They want nothing to do with it. It’s too much headache and money for basically no return. Which is why this is all so devastating. If the public schools slash it (and specialized services tend to be the first to go), you literally won’t even be able to buy…

Betsy Devos fills me with the white hot rage of 1,000 suns. Also not being hyperbolic. To me she represents that we will never again have a proper democracy. I know that sounds pretty fucking dramatic but when we have completely given up on our children we have nothing to hope for.

Yes, but we could just put a venison scratch and sniff sticker on the bottom of a pool and be done with her....

Ship them a little stuffed teddy bear holding a gun and a note: Are you fucking kidding me?

Yep. Good ‘ol Newt said a poor kindergartener ought to be able to clean toilets to pay for their lunches. So, I am guessing these “work training centers” will be teaching them to sew Nike shoes, or whatever company sponsors the “center”.

If there was ever a time for Republicans to signal they will stand up to Trump, this was it.

BUT! And here’s where it gets really twisted - the poor are required by law to provide education for their children. So what happens when they can’t pony up the required funds? Do I hear “debtor’s prisons”? Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Idk if they’ll have time, I hear they’re out stealing all the picnic baskets...

Or Republicans are evil opportunists without a shred of dignity.

OMG. I just figured out what it is.. She’s like one of the rich white people in the Purge movies!!!!! Like she buys some poors to murder with an electric carving knife each year. That picture on this article looks straight out of that. Like she wants to be all pure and saintly but is pure fucking evil and racist.

Seriously! I don’t care what state you live in.

Can we assume her eventual confirmation will assure future generations of children will also have no fucking clue who Frederick Douglas was?

At first they will hand out vouchers like it’s trick or treat. Then they will slash the public school budget. Then they will slash the budget for vouchers. The rich will pay for theirs, but get most back in a tax credit. The middle class will pay, but get a modest tax credit. The poor, they won’t be able to pay, and…

Same for me but with Feinstein. Been calling for days. VM always full and most of the time it doesn’t even ring, just goes straight to an inbox full message. Fucking disgusting.

Jesus, that fake smile with those ridiculously large teeth.

Any person who would rubber stamp putting this malicious individual in charge of children’s welfare should be hanged for treason. I am not being hyperbolic.
