Parents Defending Education is a dark money funded right wing group that is very ableist, with an ableist, medical model agenda. If your child is disabled; this group does not see them as fully human. Their answer for disability are segregated private schools w/little oversight

Also, the silence of PDE on restraint and seclusion bans of disabled kids is deafening. But they know the private schools they pimp for aren’t IDEA or ADA compliant, can assault kids in 48 states with no federal oversight on disabled abuse.

We hear a lot from PDE about library books, nothing from PDE about ND abuse. For example, Judge Rotenberg Center, who still routinely subject NDs to shock torture; where’s the outrage?JRC is a private school who refuse to comply w/ADA or FDA on shock abuse

Assault of children is legal in public schools in 19 states. Corporal punishment is legal in private schools in 48 states. Disabled children are 10 times more likely to be victims of disciplinary assault and much more likely to be assaulted in private schools.

Shock torture and assault and non-compliance with IDEA and ADA with no oversight is what they’re seeking for disabled kids, because complying with disability civil rights laws costs a lot more money. They don’t think disabled children are as important as profiting off education

The right fiercely defended insurance companies denying healthcare for “pre-existing conditions,” an insurance company euphemism to sanitize denying care to disabled people. Insurance for profit is precisely how they’d run schools for profit. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool
