State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates

State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates-MLive.com
"State law is forcing local high schools to stop their practice of awarding diplomas to all graduating seniors, regardless of their abilities.
That means students with significant cognitive impairments at Muskegon High School will instead receive 'certificates of completion' when they attend commencement along with their classmates.
Muskegon and Muskegon Heights high schools are among very few statewide that have handed out high school diplomas to low-functioning special education students who complete an 'adaptive curriculum.'"

Those Muskegon and Heights grads must be SO proud of their diplomas...

How pathetic!

When will we citizens take back control of our schools from the big education, thug unions?
