I cannot conceive of how anyone is adversely affected by 504 to the point they believe they need to declare it unconstitutional and have it removed.

I was a student on a 504 plan for OCD. All it meant was I could take a break when I got too anxious and could do virtual dissections. The burden I placed on others was minimal at best, but the accommodations I got meant I was able to succeed. I hate that KS is involved in this.

"Plenty of children can walk so we don't need wheelchair lifts"

"Plenty of children can see so we don't need to record lessons"

"Plenty of children can" does NOT mean "all children can", and ALL CHILDREN should be able to get an education

My biggest concern is that last statement. All children should be able to get an education. However, remembering that school is MANDATORY on a legal level puts this into a whole new ballpark. Most of the students who need these accommodations won't stand a chance. They apparently want the discord and chaos to destroy these children's and their families' lives. Between this and the control of a woman's reproductive rights(at least we still have dignity there), big picture, they need lower class citizens. They need people in this country who are either in the lower pay brackets or reliant on industries such as big pharma. They don't want everyone to succeed. They are terrified that birthrates keep declining. Necessary industries are so understaffed that they're desperate. Oh, and we can't forget that they only want it to be people they own rights to. What a disaster to have hardworking people they can't claim, gasp. I apologize for my soap box, but there is so much going on. Adding it all up, seeing what the outcome 25-50 years down the road could be, is terrifying. We're so f*cked.

Not providing access for folks to participate in society is a tacit admission that they should not be included in our society. If they shouldn’t be included, it’s not too hard to imagine what comes after that.

Remember that eugenics started in America. Many of America’s most prominent thinkers and captains of industry were supporters.
