In reading a post on Skeet’s blog and an article on the Special Olympics Hawaii website tonight I learned that the Hawaii Board of Education has decided to cut all funding for the Special Olympics programs for DOE students. I was disgusted when I read of their decision. How discriminatory! As a Mom of a child that has participated in Special Olympics programming I can assure you that students that participate in Special Olympics programs need and deserve those programs just as much as any mainstream student does, possibly even more. I don’t live in Hawaii but I feel like this decision impacts my family in a global community sense. If you live in Hawaii, please let your Board of Education members know this decision is not acceptable. I don’t live there, but I’m going to send a letter anyway, as well as make a donation because Special Olympics Hawaii needs all of the help they can get right now. Please consider joining me.
