[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is too exhausting to read every posting on, especially as I have no particular beef in this fight; nor am I steeped in the details.

That said my knee-jerk reaction is to wholeheartedly support this deal.  As the mom of an autistic child in a DCPS school, I'm in favor of any effort to provide greater resources to SNs schools, private or otherwise.

Whether well-founded/fair or not, I can't help but think that the exhaustive thread about the injustice of this deal smacks of prejudice at worst/insensitivity to the plight of SN families at the least.

Paragraph 1: I didn't read this thread. 
Paragraph 2: Lacking all knowledge, I'm inclined to support this deal. 
Paragraph 3: I assume the opposition that I presume to be present in this thread is motivated solely by prejudice.

I'm sorry for the challenges your family faces. I support SN children obtaining the necessary support in a welcoming environment. But I cannot disagree with your post vociferously enough. You do see why you shouldn't be taken seriously, right?[/quote]

Wow--if you're going to mount a point-by-point attack at least quote me correctly--when you don't it's hard to take you seriously.

Clarifications:

Paragraph one: As I wrote, I didn't read every single posting in the thread.  (FYI: I read most.)

Paragraph two: As I wrote, I am not fully steeped in the details of the deal -- that does not mean I lack all knowledge.  But of course the poster criticizing me is all knowing and familiar with absolutely every side, argument and consideration (including those not discussed on DCUM)...

Paragraph three: I did make a sweeping generalization that the intense feelings throughout this thread reflect an insensitivity to the challenges faced by SN families.  (And, yes, I wrote that I feared that some/NOT all of the intense reaction was potentially prompted by prejudice.)

You can disagree with me on these sentiments, but when you mistate my expressed views so absurdly and thoroughly it undermines your argument.  It's impossible to take you seriously.
