Democratic senators demand to know why Betsy DeVos took down website for disabled students


Washington’s two U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D) and Patty Murray (D) have demanded to know why the Department of Education has deactivated a website dedicated to empowering and assisting students with disabilities and their families.

Cantwell and Murray said in a Friday press release that newly sworn-in Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos must “provide an immediate and detailed explanation for why the resource website for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has disappeared.”

“The Department’s failure to keep this critical resource operational makes it harder for parents, educators, and administrators to find the resources they need to implement this federal law and protect the rights of children with disabilities,” they said.

1. This reminds me how Hitler killed people who wore glasses because they were not "quality"

And one of the first groups he killed were the disabled.

2. Why are they such predictable shitheads? Is this because

the asshole in chief mocked a disabled reporter and denied he did>

Afraid it will remind everybody?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. Sounds about right.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. You are so correct Cha. It's just heartbreaking. One of my nieces is a disabled student

And her mom (my SIL) who is on Obamacare - VOTED FOR TRUMP.

[Cha]

10. Oh No! about your SIL.. how's she liking him now? Double whammy.

OT.. I noticed your Senator Daines was on the run, literally, earlier.. something about dodging constituents because ACA?

11. Daines came home to MT but is too chickenshit to show his mug in a town hall.

He will not face reelection until 2020. So he feels very safe right now.

[Cha]

12. Let's hope he gets blowback from the

Law of Unintended Consequences sooner than later, anyway.

[Delmette2.0]

3. Of course they did.

That seems to be the standard operating procedure with this crew.

[democratisphere]

4. How pathetic is that?

rethugliCONs are absolutely the most evil.

[vlyons]

6. Today's lovely Republicans hate Special Ed

I think it's because the bastards don't want to pay taxes for those that they consider to be "retards." Not a single penny out of their pockets to help anyone. I guess they fell asleep in the church pew and missed the sermon about Jesus healing the sick.

8. There's a new Jesus who approves of cruelty, lies, adultery,

hubris and greed. The RW created him in their own image so they could worship themselves instead of some faggy Prince of Peace.

[NBachers]

7. We won't need the Individuals with Disabilities Act after the Disabled have been Disappeared.

Betsy's just doing a little tidying-up and housekeeping. Eric's got a big sanitation contract, and Amway's supplying the chemicals. New job opportunities! Applications are flooding in.
