Again these children will not be on the same field as typical kids. That would be completely insane. I am 100% in favor supporting sports for the disabled. Can I get some help from the pro-life crowd? Should we not fully support children that share this world with us regardless of their capability?
Hazlmoron, did you bother to actually read the whole thing where schools MUST create sports teams, if playing the real sport is not reasonable? To the point of regional teams, which would have huge financial costs. How reasonable is that?
Reasonable cost has nothing to do with anything the government does.
Why should Special Education be any different?
In fact, why shouldn't Special Education take precedence over most other costs of government?
You want sympathy for someone, yet seek the death of others. You have a problem.
Yep, my problem is selfish self centered bastards that treat the truly handicapped as second class citizens. No one is demanding that these children be utilized as linebackers on a highschool football team. That is nothing more than a dumb strawman argument.
And if you can't find reason in this scenario and realize that these kids need to feel included in life then you too can join him on the highway
Being included as the handicapped person to be pitied is far different than the handicapped person who overcomes and inspires. You are the self centered person who wants everyone else to bend to your needs here.

The Constitution says nothing about education; It certainly doesn't say the Federal Government cannot enact laws to control education. Therefore IDEA is not unconstitutional.

So you want separate but equal programs for the disabled kids? And who's gonna pay for this?
I'm also still waiting for any of you libs to give us the constitutional authorization for the feds meddling in education!!

Evaluating the capabilities and needs of the child easily avoids the scenario you just described. And I have no needs per this discussion other than to inject some perspective from the side of the disabled.

the parents of special needs children are notorious for being unreasonably demanding and bullies.

Where is the constitutional justification for such intervention?
Here:
South Dakota v. Dole (1987).
The Constitution authorizes Congress to use its spending powers to achieve Federal objectives indirectly, such as providing access to sports for disabled children, by withholding Federal funds.

The bullies are the ones who choose to use a handicapped individual as a tool to score political points.
Through her life I have met MANY parents of just such children and they are among the most caring and involved parents you will find.

I mentioned that prespective as well. You are ignoring your plea for equal treatment and by that funding for said programs. You do have needs and you made that clear.
For instance, a visual aid instead of a starter pistol for the deaf runner would be easy to implement, while adding a fifth base to a baseball field to shorten running distances would be considered too big a change.
If alterations to a traditional team aren't feasible, schools must create a sports program that is open to disabled students, the order says. If there aren't enough students, schools should seek to create district-wide, regional or mixed-gender programs.

some of them yes.
But most of them have an entitlement complex.
Not angry, just a realist.
They don't belong on the football field, the wrestling mat, or the baseball field with other kids who are not challenged. They will get hurt and only silly people want to legislate their vision of "fairness".
'They' sure as hell do belong there if they are able to compete there. I provided an example earlier on this thread of a young man born with one leg who won the NCAA DIV 1 National Wrestling Championship.
Education certainly was available at the time the Constitution was written. Strange how no amendment or specific federal power was given. As we all know, the federal government is limited to specified powers granted by the Constitution.
I work with the disabled and find this thread despicable. What about handicap parking? Is that a communist policy that we should ban? What about ramps? I mean they have the opportunity to take the stairs right? If they can't then, well, they should have thought about that before deciding to be handicapped. Right?
Of all the things to be angry about in this world you pick this. I don't get it.
Don't take this personal. If it were offered by bush, they would have loved it.
How much money do we spend on sports in schools each year?

Absolutely but even "conservative" parents think others should pay to educate their children.
