Schools must provide sports for disabled, US says Associated Press Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 1:13 am, Friday, January 25, 2013 "Sports can provide invaluable lessons in discipline, selflessness, passion and courage, and this guidance will help schools ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to benefit from the life lessons they can learn on the playing field or on the court," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement announcing the new guidance Friday. The groundbreaking order is reminiscent of the Title IX expansion of athletic opportunities for girls and women four decades ago and could bring sweeping changes to school budgets and locker rooms for years to come. Education Department officials emphasized they did not intend to change sports traditions dramatically or guarantee students with disabilities a spot on competitive teams. Federal laws, including the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, require states to provide a free public education to all students and prohibit schools that receive federal money from discriminating against students with disabilities. Maryland, for instance, passed a law in 2008 that required schools to create equal opportunities for students with disabilities to participate in physical education programs and play on traditional athletic teams.

    The Daily Dot, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 09:59 AM

    Election fraud wackos never die; they just keep spewing out deranged ideas from disturbed minds. Right Wing Watch writes, "Self-proclaimed "prophetess" Kat Kerr, who repeatedly guaranteed that Trump would win in 2020, claims that hundreds of thousands of Trump ballots are still being found." They've stolen the elections. They've thrown them in the river, the ballots in the river. They've burned ballots. They've hidden ballots. They even shot down a Black Hawk helicopter. Isn't this strange? Bringing them from the military that was overseas, they were carrying the ballots and that helicopter was shot down so that they could never be counted. And then a lot of, they're even now finding them in lockers and finding them in chests, they're finding them in all kinds of different places, buried, they're still finding ballots, like uncovering hundreds of thousands, not just you, you've got hundreds of thousands of ballots for the 2020 election, all voting for Trump, of course. They are uncovering all of them. They have so much evidence right now. And as I've said before in the past and will always say, it is going to be proven that he won. Trump lost bigly.
