It would not be handled by the feds.
The only reason this is a problem in the first place is because after Geraldope Riveria’s report on that one nuthouse that was ‘overcrowded and filthy’ (ie; underfunded and used as a dumping ground by other agencies) the public panicked and CLOSED places for retarded kids like crazy. Didn’t help that none other than the honorable (barf) Robert Kennedy jumped on the bandwagon with his own report.
As a result there’s a horrible shortage of specialized schools for the hand-flappers who desperately need their own space and the regular schools are increasingly unable to use necessary measures when they act out.
This law is far overreaching and totally unneeded.
“They” waited until “they” were on the way out to push for this?

That is correct. It is a shame that these kids and people that need help have been forced to function this way and receive little or no assistance. It’s very sad and a bad reflection upon our society.
Asset monitoring child devices are inexpensive <$50. You can locate a child in a crowd within 300 feet. That’s pretty good and for the majority of cases. More sophisticated GPS runs a few hundred dollars and caregivers can located their loved one before they get too far away and put themselves in harms way.
Even worse is the well-meaning parents and teachers who are pushing for ‘integration’.
Yeah one in a hundred times the classmates will accept the ‘special’ kid unconditionally and learn to interpret their garbled speech or hold the door for them. We all live for those Hallmark Movie Moments.
But the sad truth is that doesn’t always happen, or even usually.
The other 99 times out of 100? Their peers will quietly mock them at best and make their life hell at worst because their face looks funny or they can’t ‘get’ the material because their IQ is about 40 points behind everyone else. It’s human nature first of all and their teachers have increasingly less ability to discipline the students. And let’s not even talk about what happens when a ‘special’ girl hits puberty.
Segregation is a dirty word but the dirtier truth is that there are damn good reasons for it sometimes. Such as that there are segments of the population that NEED to be actively protected for a time such as young women special-ed students, and that you are not wise or kind for dismantling said segregation, but *throwing them to the wolves*.
