Letter to the Senator

Dear Senator John Pederson,


I am appalled by your bill proposal SF1291.  I am  a college student majoring in Special Education and I believe this bill is violating those children's rights.  Every child should have the right to the best education possible.  All children are equal and no child should be left behind, especially in education.  This bill is taking away the right of students with disabilities to the highest level of education.  Children in the special education program are already at risk of being left behind, so why would you want to solidify it by your proposal.  These students need qualified professionals to help them achieve the highest level of education possible.


If this bill were to pass we would be ensuring students in special education programs that they are different, and do not deserve the same education.  Teachers and professionals in the field would be under much more pressure to help their students stay in school.  The bill would strain teachers ability to receive the best education possible.  I cannot believe that this bill was ever proposed and I am very disturbed by your actions in office.  Please do not propose this bill again, or any bill against education.  If we provide and give to education now, the benefits in the future will be more than what you will save if you cut education budgets.


Sincerely,
Kate Robinson
