Gov. Palin and Special Education in the Election
Justin Bathon on Friday, August 29, 2008 at 10:43AM Well, we should be hearing more about special education now. John McCain has picked Sarah Palin as his VP running mate. Gov. Palin's fifth and latest child has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome. She knew the child was diagnosed with Down Syndrome before it was born but chose not to have an abortion, which endeared her to conservatives (that and strong support for drilling in ANWR, among other things).
Anyway, the pick of Palin should inject more discussion of issues surrounging children with special needs, which has been entirely absent from this campaign.
Update: Religion Clause has a first look at her church/state views and Kos finds that she wants creationism taught in public schools.
Update 2: Campaign K-12 has some of her history on school finance, including providing more funding for special needs students.
Update 3: Erin Buzuvis on Palin's thoughts on Title IX. (Everyone is quite chatty trying to figure out what to make of this choice).
Update 4: She is (or at least was) against sex education in schools.

After turning himself in to authorities, 20 year old David Kernell, son of Democratic Representative of Tennessee, Mike Kernell, is facing five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. He will be charged for hacking into GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin’s personal E-mail account. It is alleged that after reading the contents, he took a screen shot and posted it on a public Web site. The contents included email addresses, pictures, birthdays, and phone numbers of family members and more. To top it off, after resetting the password, he also posted the new one he had created, which allowed others to access the E-mail account themselves. Nonetheless, Kernell pleaded not guilty to the charges. Facing a $250,000 fine is intense. At $1,500 per loan, it would take about 167 individual payday loans to cover that outrageous expense.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who is currently a Vice Presidential Candidate, has been getting more negative responses from the mainstream media than she has in praises. For example, last weekend she made her late-night entertainment debut on NBC’s well-liked pop culture mainstay, Saturday Night Live. Instead of praising her for being the good sport she was, she was criticized by the press for her appearance. For several weeks now, jabs left and right have been taken at Palin, attempting to knock her out on everything. They question her performance as Governor of Alaska and her possible position as the Vice President of the United States. They had even extensively utilized the story of her seventeen-year old daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock to spread a horrendous tale to further condemn the VP candidate. Some in the media, including moderate experts, have stooped so low as to insinuate that our country will fall if something should happen to Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain, forcing Palin to take over the office of Presidency. These attacks are low-blows packed with half-truth or outright lies. Conversely, a large number of people admire Palin for her hard work and efforts that brought better things to her home state of Alaska. Many come to her defense, pointing to her unwavering support for the disabled, her work in the interest of children and people with special needs. People have put their faith in Sarah Palin, considering her support for personal responsibility and financial freedom. Much of this includes her fight against the destruction of cash advances, which is a legitimate and invaluable resource that many responsible, hard-working citizens have come to rely on in times of unexpected financial situations.

One of the key ingredients to the success of a modern nation is education. President-elect Barack Obama wanted to take a good look at the No Child Left Behind act. He doesn’t want to get rid of it altogether, but he does want reform to have standardized testing, and he is against having students “fill in bubbles” every year, and preparing them to only do so. He also wants to boost Early Head Start programs and give tax credits (or as he calls it the “American Opportunity” credit) for college education and these things are all at the forefront of his education plan. Repairing faith in America’s schools, and therefore the credit repair of the American workforce, is something that is definitely desirable. For more info on Payday Loans, click the link.
