That anyone would think this is a good idea and then implement it is outrageous. Why pick on the most vulnerable members of our society? What happened to basic human decency? I think the best thing for students with disabilities is to integrate them into society and keep them in familiar surroundings with all the support they need and not to ship them off to some "separate but equal facilities."

This is straight out of the Nazi playbook and another reason I have no respect for Texas (sorry Texan DUers; I know there are fine and decent people in Texas who abhor this kind of thing; I just don't like the leaders your fellow Texans keep electing).
