[Blindtlk] Oregon votes to close school for the blind

[Mike Freeman]

Cindy:

I hate to say it but I'm not sure they care all that much what happens 
to the kids as long as they (the politicians, that is) can shove the 
problem of how to educate them off to someone else.

I hope the NFB, ACB and parents can do something.  This is just awful. 
They
have no idea what they're doing to these kids.

Hi everyone,

Oregon's senate has voted 22 to 8 to close the Oregon School for the
Blind.  I've been told that the National Federation of the Blind of
Oregon, the Oregon Council of the Blind, parents of students
attending the school, and other stakeholders are weight their legal
options at this time.

Official word will likely follow, as will a list of the senators
responsible.

Joseph
