Roanoke Times, 3-11-12, Pg 1: Born to addiction. Virginia’s population of drug-exposed infants has more than doubled in 10 years.

Pg 7: Activists fighting physical restraints for students. A recent report showed that tens of thousands of students, many with disabilities, are subjected to “seclusion and restraint”.

Albany Times Union (Albany, NY) Way Back in December 16, 1993
“Union Hits Mainlining of Disabled Students.”
Placing special education children in regular classrooms regardless of disability is a "recipe for educational disaster" and must be stopped, American Federation of Teachers President Albert Shanker said Wednesday.

It’s somewhat prophetic that the Roanoke Times has within today’s edition articles on children born to addiction and conflicts on how to handle mainlined problem students in a regular classroom. Unfortunately neither article addressed the “educational disaster” well predicted by Al Shanker back in 1993. A prediction that sadly has come true.
-
Clearly these articles connect directly to the Roanoke Times, 3-7-12, Pg 6: Government: Minority kids punished more harshly. Hispanic and African-American students make up nearly three-fourths of students involved in school-related arrests.

One doesn’t need a PHD in Psychology or Education to connect the dots within these four articles and conclude that our Federal Dept of Education has mandated programs that are innately destructive to teaching and learning in America’s public school classrooms and the results are clear for all to see.
-
Our public education system has been sacrificed by the progressive-liberals on the altars of expediency and political correctness and misdirected sociological experiments. What a sad commentary on what should be the best educational system in the world.
