        Are print textbooks not proofread for formatting problems and typos? Don't we have the right to demand the same consideration for the education of our blind children? I thought we were no longer living in the time when a second-rate education was acceptable. Jeff County should admit they made a mistake, eat some crow and right this wrong. 

        It's a lot more satisfying to reach for the stars, even if you end up landing only on the moon.

          There is no replacement for BRAILLE!!!  Even though I don't use it in public reading, I use it every day in one fashion or another!!!  Technology is awesome, however, without the ability to read, what good are a bunch of characters, links and whatever on a computer screen going to do!  John G. Fight for Right, Sister!!!
