EPA Plans to Allow Unlimited Dumping of Fracking Wastewater in the Gulf of Mexico

Judge Decides Disabled Kids Not Worth Teaching

Posted by | Oct 24, 2016 | ,

On September 7th, Superior Court judge Thomas Moukawsher read his decision about a public school funding trial and parts of his decision were utterly devoid of sense or compassion. (The plaintiffs, who were a coalition of municipalities and education organizations, had sued for billions in new state spending but did not get it.) From the bench, Moukawsher claimed that to continue to provide an education to public school students with special needs (they make up 15 to 17 percent of the public school population) was irrational and unconstitutional. Even though special education was not an issue in the suit...
