<DIV>Visionaries:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 </DIV>
<DIV>rhetorical tricks are trotted out on a regular basis by both of you.
Try harder, stick to the point, and address the issues, please.</DIV>
