How does this affect private schools?

Found this section of the bill... (I know there is another, but can't find it right now...):

SEC. 115. PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

`(a) In General- To the extent consistent with the number of students in the State, Territory, or Indian tribe or in the school district of the local educational agency involved who are enrolled in private nonprofit elementary and secondary schools, such State, Territory, Indian tribe, or agency shall (after consultation with appropriate private school representatives) make provision--

`(1) for the inclusion of services and arrangements for the benefit of such students so as to allow for the equitable participation of such students in the programs implemented to carry out the objectives and provide the benefits described in this part; and

`(2) for the training of the teachers of such students so as to allow for the equitable participation of such teachers in the programs implemented to carry out the objectives and provide the benefits described in this part.

`(b) Waiver- If a State, Territory, Indian tribe, or local educational agency is prohibited by law from providing for the participation of students or teachers from private nonprofit schools as required by subsection (a), or if the Corporation determines that a State, Territory, Indian tribe, or local educational agency substantially fails or is unwilling to provide for such participation on an equitable basis, the Chief Executive Officer shall waive such requirements and shall arrange for the provision of services to such students and teachers. Such waivers shall be subject to the requirements of sections 9503 and 9504 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7883 and 7884).

Thank God.

[Shadowstrike]

[Shadowstrike]

Not gonna sound the way I mean it but what the heck...Run if you want. I’m staying right where I am. I, and my family worked hard for, and have bleed for what WE OWN! I ain’t walking away from it, and they sure ain’t making me run from it.

...a bill introduced and passed so fast, no one has the time to read it.

Introduced nine days prior. One hour to debate, then immediate vote.

Ethical and transparent, yesiree.

No Confidence!

[4mybiz]

I am dumbstruck.

Pat Tiberi, my congressman voted for this thing. He has kids. I can't believe he would be for this.

[Postman]

Serves them right. They’re the ones who supported this detestable Kenyan.

[AmericanArchConservative]

bad news bump!

[Charlespg]

my congresscritter Butterfield voted for this POS bill

[Tired of Taxes]

All of our worst nightmares about what would happen under an Obama administration are coming true.

[Tired of Taxes]

The first black president brings back slavery. Oh, the irony...

[GoodDay]

Good grief! Peter King (NY) voted “Yea.”

What’s wrong with him?

(Thank you for posting this list.)

[GoodDay]

At least our “adopted” congresswoman (Michelle Bachmann) voted against this travesty. Make a note to send her some more money. She’s awesome.

Michelle Bachmann and Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee).

Both great ladies.

I was interested to read on the website of cato.org (libertarian policy thinktank site) that 20th century libertarianism — the movement more than the actual party — owes its origins to three women: Isabel Paterson, Rose Wilder Lane, and Ayn Rand. See the article here:

Here in California, home-schoolers register as a private school (I believe). So it sounds like this would require parents to go be “trained” somewhere so that they could pass this trash on in the properly approved style to their offspring.

Hideous.

[Katarina]

My Republican voted for this. I am sick, this is so horrible.

[ChocChipCookie]

I’ve been taking a serious look at western Canada if the government makes any move to take our kids. Satan knows how important it is to get his grip into children as early as possible, and, apparently, so do Obama and Rahm. Interesting, isn’t it?

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

SHOCK!!!! My generally Conservative Representative Todd Platts actually voted FOR this POS bill. I bet the bastard didn’t even read and understand what he was voting on.

My Heart breaks for my beloved country.

STAND UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

I just called Senator Ensigns office and this goes to the floor on Monday for a vote.
