The Special Ed Smear
The Weekly Standard points out a couple of interesting things about the latest volley against Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
The latest smear from the Left is that, while Palin has a new baby boy with Down syndrome, she cut government funding for special ed.
Just one problem: reductions were from a budget formulated under outgoing Governor Frank Murkowski, whom she defeated.
Based on recommendations from a legislative task force, the Alaska legislature passed and Palin signed an education overhaul which increased special needs spending 175%.
The second interesting thing pointed out by the Weekly Standard:
It’s no wonder a majority of Americans think the media is trying to hurt Palin.
Meanwhile, the community organizer on the Democrat ticket continues to get a pass for his connections to domestic terrorists, sleazy slumlords, defending infanticide, and being the most liberal senator in congress.
No wonder, indeed.
