| Pelosi Strikes Again: Unilateral Disarmament | | 2008-02-20 11:43:00 | | Putting personal politics and trial lawyers ahead of National Security, (D.-Calif.) Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House refused to allow a vote on the Protect America Act by going on a 12 day vacation.That's the basics of the article written by Newt Gingrich on Human Events.com in an article titled "The Unilateral Disarmament Democrats: Putting Trial Lawyers Ahead of Your Family's Safety."Since midnight of this last Saturday, Americas surveillance capabilities have been drastically reduced due to the expiration of the Protect America Act. By refusing to allow a vote to come to the floor, she has effectively blinded America's counterterrorism abilities.This childish action by Pelosi led to a House GOP walkout which was led by Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio). Boehner said, "We will not stand idly by and watch the floor of the United States House of Representatives be abused for pure, political grandstanding at the expense of our national security."

| | Special Ed Law 101- Part IV Unilateral Placements | | 2007-11-08 22:12:00 | | Special Ed Law 101- Part III Unilateral PlacementsAs we saw in the Tom F. case before the Supreme Court, among the relief that a due process hearing officer may award is reimbursement for a unilateral placement by the parents. In the case of Burlington Sch. Comm. V. Dept. of Educ., et. al. 471 U.S. 359, 105 S.Ct. 1996, 556 IDELR 389 (1985), the Supreme Court was faced with the issue of whether the IDEA permitted courts (and hearing officers) to award reimbursement to parents when the IEP developed by the schools is not appropriate and the parent removes the student from public school and places him in a private school that does provide FAPE. Noting that the statutory provisions of the IDEA confer broad equitable powers upon the courts to fashion an appropriate remedy, and the fact that judicial review of IDEA cases often takes years, the Supreme Court held that the IDEA does empower courts and hearing officers to award such reimbursement. Burlington, supra.In Florence County Sch. Dist. v. Shannon Carter, et. al. 510 U.S. 7, 114 S.Ct. 361, 20 IDELR 532 (1993), the Supreme Court was faced with a unilateral placement case in which the public schools provided an inappropriate education leading to a unilateral placement at a private school that provided an appropriate education for the student but that did not meet some of the requirements of the SEA (specifically state approval of the private school.) The Supreme Court held that courts and hearing officers may award reimbursement in these cases. Carter, supra.The IDEA now provides that a hearing officer or court may order an LEA to reimburse parents for a unilateral placement if the hearing officer or court finds that the LEA had not made FAPE available to the student in a timely manner prior to the enrollment in the private school. IDEA, Section 612 (a)(10)(C)(ii). Such reimbursement may be reduced or denied if the parents failed at the last IEP meeting to reject the proposed placement and state their intent to enroll ... | | By: Special education Law | | |
| | A Unilateral Commitment | | 2007-07-20 18:06:00 | | Again quoting Pat O'Brien, A parent is a person who makes a unilateral commitment to unconditionally commit to a child for a lifetime..I blogged about this quote back in October as I was talking about why I would adopt again. But I have been reminded of these words again and again in the past few weeks as I have been helping individuals with new adoptive placements navagate their way through difficult behaviors and inducement. Yesterday I was talking to a family who said, "I just don't think he wants to be here. He is not invested at all emotionally in our family." And they are exactly right.And that is where I come to the idea of a unilateral commitment. I am attempting lately to get new adoptive parents to view their newly placed child as an infant. Parents of birth children when their infant turned two months old would never report, "I just don't think our child is investing anything in this relationship. He gives nothing back. He's very selfish." Exactly. And he isn'... | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |
