NYC is ‘blackmailing’ parents trying to get special ed services for their kids, critics say
Story by Deirdre Bardolf, Susan Edelman • 18h


The city strong-armed parents of special education students into signing away their right to sue for critical resources for their kids — a move critics ripped as “heartless” and “blackmail.”

In August, about 3,000 families of private and homeschooled kids in need of special-education services found out they were being denied resources because a form wasn’t received by a newly enforced deadline.

After widespread outrage, the city Department of Education said it would help families who missed the deadline restart their Individualized Education Services Programs (IESPs), which provide services such as physical and occupational therapy outside of public schools.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

NYC can't afford to help non-voting Americans with special needs when they have so many illegals to take care of first. :whistle:
