Of course, I remember the days when you didn’t want your kid near a bunch of “hooting, feral retards” yourself, Mr. R-H. Yes, I know you’ve moved past that, but apologizing might have been nice.

A little history for some of us: until the 1970′s, under the Ford administration, children didn’t HAVE a right to a free and appropriate public education. So some of those kids weren’t off at special schools: they were home, not getting educated at all, or in institutions.

BTW, mainstreaming critics: the research has mostly shown that typical kids benefit from mainstreaming. Apparently development of empathy is correlated with academic achievement.
