I signed this and thought I'd give you a chance to as well:

https://www.change.org/p/fully-include-liam-in-first-grade-and-treat-him-with-dignity?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=406424&alert_id=GEXXXmddxT_JlofdClx5pWeEpw8T1BVoTkCx98LI4UwsOazEM4vvRaCENzw5ct5WtkZv53LKCFQ

Liam is a kid with Down Syndrome, and as such has been ignored, withheld from regular classes, and shut away by his elementary school. Liam's parents took the school to court, and the judge mandated that Liam should be in proper classrooms just like everybody else. But the elementary school still won't change anything.

So this parent started a petition asking people to sign so Liam can receive a regular education just like any other kid.

I strongly support the integration of disabled children into regular classrooms. My sister has learning disabilities. When she was young, nobody thought she would ever be capable of anything intellectually. They wanted to put her in special ed day classes. My parents forced her school district to integrate her into regular classrooms with special accommodations. She is now at university in the process of obtaining a four-year degree. Never underestimate what one child can do if they put their mind to it.

Please support learning disabled integration into schools and sign this petition.
