[Vision2020] Logos School's Policy of Entrance Discrimination

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Visionaries:
 
If private school X bars disabled students - or effectively bars them by  
failing to provide the accommodations necessary for the student to be successful  
- they have/practice discriminatory entrance requirements.  If private  
school x states that policy in their student handbook they have placed the  public 
on notice regarding their admission policies.
 
Private schools are free to structure their internal policies anyway they  
wish.  But, when they crow about the academic achievements of their student  
body (in a not so subtle comparison to public schools who do not practice  
similar enrollment discrimination) claiming that pedagogy is the foundation  of 
their success, I think it is fair to say, "Hold your horses,  boys, try telling 
the whole story."   
 
Once again, I don't care what philosophy or standards are employed by  
private school X, or even, for example, Logos School.  But don't kid  yourselves, 
Visionaries, our tax dollars - yours and mine - both through  501(c)(3) 
exemption and local property tax exemption support that  discrimination.  I find that 
repugnant.  
 
Donovan, try to get the point of my post before you comment on it.   Yet 
again you miss the thesis of the argument.  In that regard, you differ  little 
from Dale Courtney.  Sometimes people don't address the issue  because they are 
incapable of discerning what it is; at other times it is  because there is no 
effective answer that can be given to defend morally  and spiritually corrupt 
behavior.  Then, (a frequent Kirk ploy)  it's  time to re-frame the premise of 
the original argument.  Thus, Dale  claims that I said Logos is bad because it 
has smart students or Donovan claims  Rose Huskey doesn't know anything about 
Special Education and makes mean,  ignorant remarks about disabled people.   
It's a pity that such  tiresome, transparent, and sophomoric 
rhetorical tricks are trotted out on a regular basis by both of you.   Try 
harder, stick to the point, and address the issues, please.
