The Palin Plan for the "Disabled"

The Palin Plan, according to the New York Times, calls for disabled students everywhere to be able to attend private institutions over public schools. a couple important questions.... who is she defining as disabled? only those with so-called mental handicaps? or does that include those with learning disabilities like ADHD and dyslexia? does is include chronically sick people? what about the blind or those who move via wheelchair? disabled is an all-encompassing term. therefore, she needs to better define it, so as that we can abstract her true intentions. and how do we know this so-called private education won't be analogous to "separate but equal"? be careful people, before hopping on the bandwagon of political rhetoric spewed by politicians desparate for that extra vote. just because she has a downs baby, doesn't mean she knows what's best. just because she lives in Alaska, doesn't mean she knows shit about foreign policy or anything for that matter about Putin. careful people, careful.
