Fighting For Our Children's Rights

I've been following this story on the CBC for a while and if you read through the comments (many as they are) you may be able to pick out which ones are mine. This woman is fighting to put in place the supports her daughter will need when she enters school. As always there are people who are opposed to this idea. The "innocent taxpayers" who abhor the idea of paying for someone else's special needs child to have the interventions to save her life made available to her in the public school system. Sometimes I just don't understand people...

It it a shame. As I read and learn more about "special needs" kids who have gotten services they needed because of their parents, I find how many of these children went on to make a huge contribution to society. Michael Phelps, the all time most Olympic Gold metal winner. Pete Wright, one a U.S, Supreme Court Case on special education, no less. Bill Gates didn't even make it through school....
