"Because we're against it" - Educating disabled kids

I can’t imagine anyone with a shred of human decency thinking that his comment is acceptable. However, we all know that in this administration, human decency is not something to aspire to. I would like to think that this sentiment is not widely held, but I’m sure it is in MAGA circles.

I hate those f*ckers with every fiber of my being.

Greg Gutfeld is truly a soulless ghoul.

But why would anyone even say something abhorrent like that?

I agree this is the likely explanation.

I’ll admit that I’m flummoxed by people who find it entertaining to never, ever, discuss or do anything in good faith. Particularly when such important issues are at stake. How is this funny?

Adding to my own post here - the fact that he was likely “joking” doesn’t take away from the fact that Rs are doing everything they can to defund and destroy the only schools required to educate kids with special needs. The likelihood of high quality private schools jumping in to fill the need through vouchers is nil.

Wow. Few things make my jaw drop any more, but that’s one of them. 😡

ETA: After reading the comments, it seems that he was joking. As someone who spent a great deal of her career working with said kids, he’s not funny (as others have said). I wrote to my Congressman-a Republican- expressing this very concern. I would bet that some states are going to neglect these kids. And Ohio, my state, might well be one of them. It makes my blood boil.

Please understand I am on your side. As I've said before, I've found few good things came from my DH's passing. Not having Fox on any of my TV is one of them. But having watched enough of the shows, you will never get a good discussion from any of the "shows". Jessica Tarlov is the one shining light there. She punches back hard with facts. And when she does, they have nothing. So they come back with a one liner like Gutfield gives on his show. She's against Judge Janine and Jesse Waters 😵‍💫 And those two certainly never have anything of substance to say. There is another guy who is right leaning but every now and then he would have a push back. Lawd, does this mean I watched too much or absorbed through osmosis while I slept? But if you're looking for a discussion, not this channel. Their aim is to keep the orange masses riled up.

He's gross. And the sad thing is he's so gross that we get so caught up in reacting to him that we don't have the complex, difficult conversations that we need to have as a society about these issues. The needs of children with disabilities are vast & varied. There are so many factors to consider. I have spina bifida. But what spina bifida looks like for me is not necessarily what it will look like for another person with the same diagnosis. Same is true for autism, cerebral palsy, Downs Syndrome, etc. etc.
