This website has written extensively about South Carolina’s taxpayer subsidized education establishment – a radically leftist front which fails generations of students in the Palmetto State each year by perpetuating an increasingly costly “one size fits all” bureaucracy.

For those of you unfamiliar with the tactics of this establishment, it basically bribes “Republican” politicians to continue rejecting market-based reforms –  while at the same time funding the signature education “reform” of U.S. President Barack Obama.

All in the “reddest state in America,” no less … which oh by the way is home to the worst government-run school system in the country.

Anyway …

With such a firm grip on generational failure, you’d think this establishment would be willing to give special needs children a break … but no. In fact after the S.C. Senate approved a one-year tax credit for children with special needs – a rare departure from its “total state control” philosophy – one of the establishment’s leaders sharply rebuked Senators.

“We are extremely disappointed in the S.C. Senate’s last-minute actions,” said Paul Krohne, head of the state’s uber-liberal S.C. School Boards Association (SCSBA). “We know from studies of similar programs in other states that these programs may benefit a few students but at the expense of taxpayers who will have no accountability for the public funds – but more importantly at the expense of many public schoolchildren in the state.”

Wait … did this guy just acknowledge that similar programs in other states have been successful?  Yet he’s opposing it anyway? Because he says it will come “at the expense” of a school system that’s received billions of dollars in new revenue in recent years (and is currently sitting on more than $900 million in “reserve” cash)?

That’s astounding recalcitrance … especially when it comes to a reform that’s exclusively focused on helping special needs children.

Oh … and don’t get us started on government’s definition of “accountability.”

Bottom line? It takes a special kind of asshole to attack lawmakers for putting special needs kids ahead of a failed bureaucracy.

In fact if you needed any additional evidence that the Palmetto State’s “for the children” racket has absolutely no interest in actually helping children, Krohne’s comment is “Exhibit A.”

I beg to differ. Krohne is not a “special kind of asshole”

He is just an asshole

To bestow the title special will just cause Krohne to ask for a raise and even though his organization is not directly State funded somehow the money for his raise will be sucked right out of my asshole and into his goddamn mother fucking greedy cockroach hand

Since FITS, like most insulated, sub-division liberals, has no on-the-ground, heavy-lifting experience, I’ll educate him w/ some reality…

So many special ed. children are the product of an environment of Club-Ho’ Mamas and don’t-know-daddy (or the strongest constituency of the democrat party)….They are taught to hate based on race and they have nasty attitudes because their parent is bitter and told she has the right to be by exploiting politicians…

Also: So many should-be jailed “students” are placed in special ed. for well–trained, professional, special ed. teachers to deal with. They have an IEP and w/ that, no rules of civility apply to them. The schools like it because they get exorbitant federal funding from liberals for it..
Besides the children qualify ‘dey mama’ (see Club Ho’) for what is called a ‘Handicapped Check’…The parent has NO motivation to set up this Totally democrat, Leftwing system of failure…
Republicans would rather go-along because they have way too much to lose by being honest about it…

What are you saying? That Special Ed Children are only in bad families or certain types of families? Maybe you need some Special Ed!

Like all government, the funding to help those who it’s intended for is too often used, in in a bad way, by the wrong people…

Yall hate to admit that…but if you ever turned off MSNBC or CNN, you’d KNOW what I’m saying is true…

Instead you cling to the myths and Cliches that FITS feeds you, because it allows you to remain ignorant,….

This is the most ignorant thing you’ve ever posted, and that’s a pretty high standard to meet.

People: SMDH is an example of me slapping the living $#!* out of a liberal w/ THE TRUTH, they have NEVER seen before. They have NOTHING to say, other than showing their ignorance…LMAO…

If Republicans knew the deal, and could present it like I do…we’d knock the leftist idiots off their game of hate and stupidity…and beat ’em everytime…

You leftwingers are such conformist clichés…

I have my own style. If it makes you uncomfortable because you are simple-minded, maybe you need to open your mind….Get out of that box that is making you so easily led…and so obedient to the corrupt…

Krohne’s friend Susan Devenny has been hurting special needs kids ever since her agency First Steps was given the Babynet program. Babynet is supposed to help toddlers with special needs. Devenny grabbed for Babynet funds, got a huge raise and cut services to Babynet kids. Investigative journalists Renee Dudley, Kevin Dietrich, Colleen Macmillan plus legislative audit council and education oversight committee have written extensively about her agency’s failures to help vulnerable kids. What kind of assholes let her keep doing this?

I like how you say, “(and is currently sitting on more than $900 million in “reserve” cash)?” and yet the story you link is over a year old.

Some find it hard to understand why sic(k) willie hates on public education so much, until they realize he is just another of Howie the Voucher Clown’s paid voucher pimps.

Vouchers are a scam. Regardless of what Howie’s voucher pimps call them.

Since sic(k) willie constantly pukes up the same old Howie voucher rhetoric, every now and then he realizes he needs to freshen the flavor.

Lately, he has been doing this by taking advantage of special needs kids.

It’s amazing how low sic(k) willie will go to suck on Howie’s voucher-pipe-line of money.

sic(k) willie needs to tell Howie the Voucher Clown that vouchers, regardless of what you call them, are dead in S.C.

A former Midlands’ elected official has said so.
