Special education vouchers will help schools, students

When are we, the people of Virginia, going to stop letting the Virginia Education Association pimp our children and throw good legislators under the bus on the backs of hard-working, good-intentioned teachers? It’s OK to spend millions on gifted children and to forget high-IQ special needs students?

The time has come for parents and school districts with special needs students to get more help with their education. A special-needs voucher bill, with no cost to the taxpayer or school districts, has been proposed two years running – just to be killed by the Education Association. Let’s get a backbone Virginia. Call your legislator.
