Quote from Mav88:
back in the early 80's this idea was a 'progessive' idea called mainstreaming, that is put all the special ed students at regular schools and sometimes in regular classes. The theory was they would pick up more being aroung regular old kids. Bleeding hearts really hated the idea of these kids feeling 'different' even though they ARE different.
What I remember is that these kids were the target of ridicule. What a 'no-shitter" that was, most all kids are the target of ridule at some point. Some liberal genius figured that high schoolers would welcome special eds would open arms. In typical liberal fashion that was ignorant of reality.
Who knows what hatred lanza held for public schools, but if he had been seperated as he probably should have been, the thought to go there may not have crossed his mind.
