So much of what special needs kids get is tied to education.

As a special needs mom. It has to stop insurance needs to step up and step in and take care of medical needs!

School is for education.
Therapy is for fucking insurance. When the school gets involved it’s a hot mess.
Dept. of Education enforces the law to ensure that students with disabilities receive appropriate education.
Without federal oversight, protections will weaken, stealing students' legal rights & damaging our country.

ENOUGH with the Islamophobia or Handmaid's garb to talk about abusive fundamentalist Christian patriarchy already.

(the point of the Handmaid's Tale is that they did to white women what Black and Brown women've already endured for centuries).

The Duggars wore t-shirts and jeans. It's already here.
