The first time they int...Heck yeah, it's ALEC. The first time they introduced this thing in Wisconsin last May, it was almost word-for-word from the ALEC template. The new version that they're trying to ram through in the current session, with as little time for the public to react as possible, is modified but still based on the original ALEC model legislation. If they succeed, it will be a terrible drain of taxpayer dollars funnelling out of the public schools (where they're desperately needed) and lining private-school coffers while stripping federally-guaranteed rights from STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES!<br /><br />P.S. It looks like in your comparison you're conflating the ALEC model for autism-vouchers with the model for more generic special-needs vouchers. SB486 is based on the special-needs version.<br /><br />P.P.S. Not sure why you're saying that the author of the first article you link doesn't know it's ALEC? She mentions ALEC in the very first sentence!JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.com
