Lee's Summit R-7 School District

I will explain my passion to those that don't know me or don't understand me. I had never been an activist. I had never been political. I had been raised to do what I was told and to trust people in charge. My son is autistic. He went to a wonderful school in Illinois that did all that they could for him. My husband and I wanted to move back to KC. That is where we grew up. My husband interviewed every school district in the area. We wanted Jake to go to the right school. We picked Lee's Summit because we bought all of the bullshit that they sold us. I told them that the school in Illinois felt that Jake would not do well in a large classroom. They told me that they were the experts and that they knew best. I believed them. I bought into it all. I never questioned them or educated myself. After all, I was a housewife and they were educated people. At the age of 13 my son came home and said, "Your life would have been better if I had never been born."

This is what my district is sending out to their patrons. They want the citizens of this city to protect them from lawsuits. Unfortunately, most people don't research this and believe all that they are told. I have a better idea. Do your jobs and you won't have to worry about it. They also state that at there are less discrimination suits in Kansas. If the suits are valid we shouldn't be trying to do away with them. We should not be discriminating.
