[quote=Anonymous]For those who haven't seen it, Nancy Van Doren's rant starts at 45:05.  Here's what she said:

"Can I just say that I personally find it offensive that people are willing to discriminate against the biological difference with twins.  I have twins and I take this VERY, very personally.  It is detrimental to some twins to be separated and if you're going to say that those two twins have to be separated because you think some sense of justice says they have to be treated separately then you are not acknowledging the biological needs of twins and I am REALLY offended by that.  There are some people in this school system who also have triplets.  Are you going to say that two of them and one of them can't go?  I just ... I'm sorry and I'm very upset about this, because I live with it, I live with the very special emotional, psychological situation that twins are in and I am really bothered by the fact that we would even CONSIDER saying that they should by force be separated if they need to be together."

Again - she was talking about twins who are applying for the choice program at HB Woodlawn for secondary school.[/quote]
