  • Caden Cox makes history as the first player with Down syndrome to score in a college football game
    Caden Cox has always been more interested in making kicks than making history, but earlier this season, he did both, becoming the first player with Down syndrome to play, as well as score a point, in a college football game.

    I’m gonna be honest, most stories like this where the guys just let him score and everyone cheers don’t do much for me. But watching someone with a real disability actually work hard and achieve something no one thought they could makes me smile. He’s actually a better kicker than me and most other people lol. Good on him.

      LOOK HERE OK? You may not understand what were about to say to you but reality is, Yea but the public school system is not doing this for 20+ Million Learning Disabled in 50 states and this is just an example of Reverse Advocating No parents should have to be forced to sign an individual education plan for there mainstream students This is what is so FD up with the public school system in 50 states they do discriminate with ieps to say your student is not The Learning Disabled who out number the entire true special needs 12 on the List are at the top for having a Learning Disability should not mean you are discluded from the elites education as having Learning Disabilities is not as like nor to having a True special needs Public school should not be Walt Disney while 20+ Million Learning Disabled mainstream students should have more of an opportunity than this downsydrome and who ever eles true special needs We need to stop the reverse advocating because this hurts The Learning Disabled with the 1975 Rehibilitation Act It's Parents like you that need to go to F ing Jail for your virtue signaling Your the worst parents in America to Abridge and Break the US Constitution Learning Disabled don't want classes with true special needs In 50 states need there own federal law to PUNCH BACK! at this Unfair loop hole for true special needs This needs to change in federal law to equalize the playing feild to stop the favoritism by the school system and teachers in 50 states If The Learning Disabled can't have it all in Education Than this Means War! This is why we Advocate for mainstream students to not be the Learning Disabled FOR NO BODY! They don't owe your true special needs there time and energy in special education, no for The Learning Disabled NEED mainstream classes there sick of all this favoritism for the elite This is not a British Monarcky and 2 We need to listen to parents who don't want the individual education plans for students that are not The Learning Disabled And who they give school choice to but really they need to be forcing true special needs parents with school choice not the other way around We hope we have set the record straight If your not a parent that is against the iep loop hole than chances are we don't care what you have to say This parent clearly is all in this for bigger government and the antichrist agenda and For Trumps Supporters will not have to wait anymore for this to go the other way for a change Seperate schools for The Learning Disabled, remain in public schools either way The Learning Disabled should be Micheal Phelps to go off into special olympics to win 24 Gold Medals Golf Tournaments THE LEARNING DISABLED ARE NOT GIVEN THE SAME CHANCE as downsydrome football player to be on the sports team That's Why this needs to be changed in federal law or a school walkout, boycott special education, boycott the entire system of special education and public schools that break and abridge the US Constitution to not accommodate The Learning Disabled to only go against the grain of the parents President Lincoln talked about a house divided a house will falls, happiness even This system of education resembles The British Empire in America The public school system in 50 states don't want to help have incentives for 110% students they force to have in iep loop hole The Learning Disabled for example you can't get a full education being in stuck in special education for endless grades with the fail limit and other bad federal laws such as the find program and more that should be canceled to save tax payer money in 50 states This Union has lied does not help the home base on education of Mainstream students so you in the Establishment and the elite shut your mouths don't get mad at us when this system has been broken by YOU!!!

    If the public school system only stopped Reverse Advocating, ieps, fail limit, find program, in 50 states to do this for 20+ Million Learning Disabled Students by the time they reach highschool can be in elite class rooms, starters on the football team off to college More Learning Disabled than the few that get highier education guess only elite students in the community are allowed the American Dream others are not We need to talk about this kitchen table issue or Learning Disabled in 50 states don't need public school education if this favoritism continues we should have a mass exit from the school system For 12 years to let the community have the public school system A federal law would be made to allow this
