They are trying to steal away the kids blind school in Phoenix.
They now say they have come up with the funding that was subject to a million dollar budget cut. It's a damn shame they have to be watched nonstop.

1. That is horrible
Is that the one over by the mountains in downtown?
I can't remember the name but I have a friend who was a secretary there.

3. That is it.
When I was home a few years ago...she took me to her office because they had just remodeled the place and she wanted me to see it.

4. There is supposed to be an agreement between two agencies
by tomorrow. I don't know why they had to scare all of the poor kids and parents. :shrug: Guess they didn't manage the theft well.

5. Why is it necessary to .....

segregate blind kids from the rest of their peers. Does anyone expect that after their school years they will go live in some country composed only of blind people.

Integration of disabled folk into all aspects of society is vital - IMO - we fought hard for IDEA and now we want to give it back.
